Sleeved Yesterday..



Recommended Posts

And was doing great yesterday...walked a lot, etc...they didn't let me have any liquids or ice chips until after my leak test today...and honestly, after the nasty stuff I had to drink for that, I didn't want to...I came home and had about 2 oz of a clear protien drink and 2oz Water I have tried to walk but am more sore today and just want to rest. Is it okay to start fresh tomorrow?

I think immediately after surgery, rest would be first and foremost, Protein and liquids next and exercise/walking when you have the energy and feel well enough to do it. Don't push your body to do something it's not ready for. Take care of yourself....the best is yet to come! Congrats! (Mine is 2 weeks from Friday.)

Walking keeps the blood flowing and its important to not get a clot . You also displace the gas that will in turn give you pain relief. Best wishes ! Let us know how you are !

      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?
