4 days post op. I'm doing better each day. Showering is harder than I expected. Walking is easier than I expected. I took the binder off today to let my incision sites breathe. Having a hard time really sleeping at night as I so badly want to roll on my stomach to get comfy like normal and that us obviously not happening. Anyone else have that issue?

I haven't slept on my stomach in YEARS. Feel like my tits are strangling me! sleeping on my stomach again is a goal of mine. I used to sleep so good on my stomach......(sigh)

I am 20 days post op and just took a nap on my tummy for the first time. So much better! I had a hard time the first two weeks because I couldn't even lay on my side. It gets better!!

I've read that it is easiest to sleep in a recliner for the first week or 2. I am shopping this weekend for a new livingroom set with a recliner.

Yeah I've been sleeping in one. But it's so hard to stay comfortable in one I go back and forth just to change positions but getting sound sleep is something I haven't quite gotten since the surgery I'm staying positive that it will get more comfortable!

      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?
