I'm 8 days out and went back on Monday. Was so tired that I went to see my GP for a B-12 shot for a burst of energy. To put it mildly, she was FURIOUS that I had returned to work so soon. She reminded me that I had just gone through major abdominal surgery and that the body needs time to heal. As a result of that conversation, I have cut back my hours at work and plan on taking most of next week off.

Good luck!!!!

I take B12 sublingual Vitamins daily. You can get them at most grocery stores and Vitamin shops

In the beginning, I noticed that on days I didn't drink enough, I was the weakest. Still, when I'm feeling weak, I just make it a fluids only day with G2 low cal Gatorade, broths, sf popsicles, and Protein Shakes. By the next day, I'm usually feeling a lot better. Yesterday was one of those days for me. Hope you guys feel better.

I am 4 wks out and still have weak days every now and then and i've noticed its on days I don't quite get my fluids in. I'll feel dizzy and have a slight h/a when i stand up and walk. If i increase my fluids it passes.

      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?
