I've been reading the posts about walking. I am 10days put from surgery. I wanted to go to my local park in the morning. It's 2.5 miles. Before surgery I walked it almost every day 2xs so 5 miles total. Do you think it would be ok to walk it just once? I feel really good. I don't want to push it.

We are suppose to b walking, if you could do 2 laps b4 surgery, go w/ the one lap one day and if all feels good go w/ 2 laps when you go again. I am 18 days post op and am walking like a dynamo.

I've been walking every day just not that far. I don't want to push it. I'm so scared of a leak. Ive been reading that people get even though everything was fine. I feel really good, except not being able to sleep.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
