Good to be up and moving. And of course, take those pain meds. Do you have GasX strips? Maybe try those.

Congrats on your surgery and good luck :)

the morphine pump was my best friend in the hospital.... I felt no pain, not even from the gas.....So take advantage of your morphine pump and use it as much as possible. I pushed the button all the time. LOL :)

Also, I had the crap in my chest and I got a lot out when they let me up to take a shower. I took a hot shower and I think the steam helped me after that is when I felt better

Hope you are feeling better soon - I know just what it feels like to be hit by that freight train :) sip as much as you can, take those pain meds, and walk as much as you can tolerate - very soon, the pain will be a memory.

      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?
