Congrats, I'm glad things are going well post-op. Take it easy and get up and walk as soon as you can and as much as you can. You might not feel like walking, but it will ease any gas pains and help prevent any blood clots in you legs.

Walking relieves the gas! You cannot walk too much or too soon. Walk around your room at least. I walked many laps in the hospital within an hr of returning from post op and did it several times a day. I was fine by discharge 2 days later. The other patients who stayed in bed were still in pain from gas, at discharge. Congrats! You did it and are on your way. Each day is easier than the day before.

      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.
