day 4 post op. I'm doing okay.



Recommended Posts

Hey yall. It's day 4 post op including my surgery date. Today's the first day I've started feeling normal. I've been pretty out of it these past few days. I've started eating creamy Soups and that's helping a lot. My incisions arent hurting. Just my insides. Ive stopped taking my pain medicine every 4 hours cause i was tired of being high all the time. Im trying to take them at night. Ive been pretty depressed. And not to be graphic but my butthole is so raw from going poop every 30 minutes. I'm trying to stay positive but it's hard.

Things get better!! For the first few weeks things are a bit crappy! But it is so worth it further down the track :-) you'll look & feel amazing soon enough :-) the pain won't last too much longer & when that goes down you'll feel much better!! Keep strong :-)

      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?
