9 Days Post Surgery



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve performed on Oct 30 and had to stay in the hospital for two days. I went In weighing 175 and according to my new scale I am at 163. I am still basically on fluids but I've been feeling hungry for a couple of days. I'm not on Proteins yet my Dr starts that at 2 weeks is this normal?

Hi, I'm new here but am 6 days out and thought I'd reply. I am on full liquids with Protein supplement and was told by my physician to start it on day 3. I know everyone is different though. Were you told why not start it? I think that the protein is helping me a lot.

The doctor has stages that you are suppose to follow, for the first two weeks you are only suppose to be on fluids. Then weeks 2-4 is when we start on small amounts of Protein

      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.
