Well I guess this makes me 3 days post op. I'm doing well. The pain meds are helping. I'm getting in liquids just not as much as the doc wants. Yesterday I had about 24oz and the doc wants 48oz of Clear Liquids. I'm urinating more than 3 times a day so I figure I'm hydrated. It's really weird that I can physically feel how small my stomach is now. I'm stuck in my recliner and really want my bed. I'm able to walk around the house several times a day. I think I'm doing ok but I just wish I could sleep in my own bed. Last night I slept longer than any other time since the surgery. Just wanted to give my update.

Hi, I had surgery 12/5. doesn't it feel good to be home? I too am finally sleeping 3 to 4 hours at a time instead of waking up every hour like I was at the hospital. I am in my bed but rolling over on my side to get up reminds me I am sore. Keep sipping!

Thanks everyone. It does feel good to be home. I'm just so dang thirsty and all I can do is sip. Lol

      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?
