Surgery done....little pain lots of nausea



Recommended Posts

Surgery with Dr. Lopez so far so good. Lucked out with a great roommate and lots of support from my coordinator. MiDoctor hospital is very, very clean and hospitable. My biggest problem is nausea, but it also has to do with the fact that I'm a revision surgery client. The nurses are really helpful and give m nausea medication frequently, but I try to walk every hr to help with the digestion. The first night I won't lie, I questioned why I did this, but I've got to stay focus on my goals.

Glad everything went okay but sorry about the nausea! I still remember feeling that "OMIGOD what have I done" feeling when I was so sick after surgery for my LapBand and I sure hope that passes soon! You are up and walking and that is awesome! Congratulations. :)

The nausea Seems to have subsided. Resting in my room at the Marriott. Kinda cold but I turned up the heat in the room and I have heating pads. Someone had recommended on this forum and I brought it just in case.....thank God I did. Looking forward to going home to spend some time with my children and husband

      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?
