Just got home



Recommended Posts

Surgery was on Friday. Surgery itself was uneventful, but I had bad reactions to several meds and suffered from severe nausea. Today was my first coherent day and it took me 11 hours to get down 30oz. to be able to come home. 4 days in hospital. :-(

Hubby has been amazing taking care of me.

Second guessing myself? Absolutely. Hoping two weeks from now things are better? You better believe it.

Yes you will feel better soon! I hated myself for doing it when I was in the hospital cause I also had reactions to the meds and was vomiting every 20 mins for the 1st 24hours! It definitely gets better. I was over the sickness within a day or two, then just weak! Congrats on the surgery!

      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?
