It's been less than 3 weeks since you had surgery. Are you taking an acid reducer? Hunger pains in the middle of the night could still be healing of your stomach along with the acids in your stomach. The feeling is exactly like hunger pangs. Keep some Water at your bed and drink a few ounces when that happens.

For the first four or five weeks after surgery, when I went to bed my stomach growled and I felt like I was hungry, but it was the acid and the healing. It went away. Before I went to bed I usually had a few sips of skim milk and that would make feel full, then I would wake up with that feeling. My doctor and nutritionist explained to me it was acid & healing pains.

      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?
