Was walked into operating room, lied down and hooked up here and there, given drugs and woke up 2 1/2 hours later. It seemed like 5 or 10 minutes went by although I now was in allot of pain.

5 cuts. Sutures were clean and neat and surgicaly glued closed, which for me was a sign it was carefuly done but also do not hurt a bit.

Was in pain in my stomach 2 days, now not as much and can move about pretty well already, medicine takes care for that.

No hunger, yes, I was not hungry as I sipped my 1 ounce Water for 24 hours, not at all. I smelled foods being eaton by hospital employees but did not want to eat them at all, although I can not yet report any strange sensations when trying to drink or eat such as super sweet taste.

So, waited over night to be tested, then 24 hours sipping water, then 2 ounce Ensure Breakfast and sent home, wa - la ! I am sleeved.

Best things I brought, biotine moisture mouth spray ( first day ), baby wipes ( clean up after catheder removed and fresh up ), over sized robe ( for walking halls at hospital ).

      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.
