Almost 1 month out and feeling pretty good. Never had problems with the nauseousness. Have had some pain at the largest incision site and bruising there also. Still having trouble getting all the fluids in but doing pretty well with Protein. Definitely have restrictions with food. Only eat 4-6 bites of food and I feel a tightness in my chest. Hopefully that will relax just a little. Any good ideas on how to increase my Fluid. I eat popsicles, drink Water and gatorade but inly get like 30-40 ounces in a day. Side note I am down 30 pounds counting weight lost on pre op diet!!!

      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.
