Long story short I was having such bad gas pain that I couldnt breath. Went to the er and bought myself an overnight. So frustrated I dont know what I did wrong. I was told that they see a spot on my catscan that they want to look at. So antibiotics and a dye test in the morning. Kinda nervous because I never have a fever and today I did. I keep thinking I made a mistake and what if this is some kind of infection and itt doesn't end well? Anyone else have a similar complication?

Should be going home later today. They saw something on the CT Scan that they explained as "postoperative swelling" it was explained that sometimes lymphnodes get inflammed and that its going to pass. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Feeling 100 times better. Stayed the night in the hospital but was met in the er by three surgeons that work with the dr I use. Very reassuring. Minimal gas pain now got down a 11oz Protein Shake before class. Drank about 16oz crystal light lemonade and a healthy choice fudge bar after class. Didnt feel full but not hungry either. This is day 6 of post op

      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.
