Trying to get over a sinus infection, ears are plugged, just feel overall runned down and yes I'm taking Vitamins. How long did it take for you start feel completely better after surgery?!?!?

6 weeks. I now feel great! Not run down, HAPPY. I use to be really shy and quiet but find myself opening up and feeling great.

I also got sick at 5 weeks. Hang in there. chicken bullion cubes were a life saver. :D

Yeah, after 3 weeks I felt like the king of the world - so it's definately your infection. Look after yourself! :)

I'll be honest, for some reason it took about 6 to 8 weeks for me to get my "pep" back. I started working after about 3 weeks out, 12 hours shifts, and I think I went back too early, but I had no energy it seemed like for a long time. Once this passes, you'll feel amazing! Your in my prayers.

I got a sinus infection over Christmas at 6 weeks. I was exhausted. Fast forward to last week- I got the flu! I just want to feel better! I told my boyfriend- I am so sick of being sick.

This is a hard time to have such a major surgery with cold and flu season in full swing. It's hard to go back to full activity on so little food, and harder still if you have a bug. I think you'll find once you get over it you'll snap back pretty quickly. You're over the worst hurdles....ok most of them....just get rid of the sniffles! Take care

      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?
