welcome home! I had surgery last Thursday. I'm sure you're sore and tired - use the time to rest when you need to, that's when your body is healing. :) I had a terrible time getting any liquids in the first couple days home, mainly because I just wanted to sleep. But use your time awake wisely and walk as much as you can, sip your fluids and then get back to resting. I'm only 3 days ahead of you and I can tell you that three days makes a BIG difference. I'm feeling better every day and drinking now is much easier - I'm *almost* getting in all my required Water. yesterday I was about 8 oz short, and I felt like a champ getting that much in! :)

Welcome to "the other side". It only gets better from here! :)

      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.
