Yup, shark week starts on the day of my surgery. Woohoo. :mellow: I seriously doubt that's happening with all the worry and stress i'm putting myself through.

Anyone have this come up during your hospital stay?

Mine started the day after surgery... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! Between blood thinners and everything else going on... um yeah it was bad!

Started mine 2 days before, nurse took care of me during the surgery apparently since you most likely wont have underwear on due to the waistband getting in the way.... It did last extra long due to the blood thinners but the experience wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I was very late & it ended the day before surgery, whew... If you have it for surgery make sure to ask your hospital what they prefer you to have on hand. When I was confirming my appt I was advised to use a pad if needed.

YES, and I was just coming to post about it and saw yours. Almost WORSE is that I have to be on the pre-op diet with PMS, which basically makes me feel like eating around the clock. I am NEVER full that week. It's going to be brutal. I scheduled the surgery date looking at flight prices (going to Mexico) and didn't even think about the fact that my cycle would come into play. *headdesk*

Arg, yes, just realized that I'll probably have it the day before or day of my surgery. I think just about every big life event in my adult life so far has been "enhanced" this way!

So my surgery date is August 21, 2013(!!!YAY!!!) right smack dab in the middle of what was supposed to be my cycle. I was freaking out when I realized it. Really didnt wan't or need one more thing to worry about. Luckly I woke up this morning and there she was! Way way early, which never happens, but hey I'm good with that. Idk if i could handle the surgery and the cycle at the same time.

That's funny, I was coming here to ask a similar question! I had to go off birth control for the surgery. That instigated an early period that started today, and surgery is Friday. I'm hoping SO much that my body will get over it before then, but prior to bc long, heavy periods weren't unusual. :( I *wish* I had heavy duty pain meds today though, the cramps are the reason I went on bc in the first place and I've been doubled over in pain most of the day.

      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?
