Just wanted to give an update. I had my surgery this morning at 8:00. I never thought this would happen to me but I am one of those people who keeps asking if they really did the surgery as I feel amazing! Just wonder if anyone else could share their experiences with feeling great and whether it continued or if reality set it.

Nope, you're not dreaming! I had the same experience, and am still feeling great! Just make sure you drink your Proteins and Water as required and walk as much as they will allow you to.

I'm gad you're having a positive experience; I've read so many horror stories on here. :)

I felt great after my surgery -- could have been the drugs they gave me in the hospital. I was a little sore and had to hold onto my tummy when I laughed or coughed. Only in one night, and was anxious to go home.

No pain at home. I didn't even take the pain meds. No nausea, no vomiting. I will confess that I was really tired for the first 2-3 weeks, but no problems other than that.

I am 3 months post op, down 52 lbs, diabetes and high blood pressure meds down to 1/4 of what I used to take. And I feel fabulous!

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!

Me too! I worried and worried pre-op! My surgery went super, I even had a larger Hiatal Hernia then they thought. I walked and walked the first night after surgery. No pain pump the next day. No pain meds, nausea, or issues. Feeling blessed. I'm glad your all doing well!

I had a very quick and easy recovery and now 8.5 months post-op I still feel amazing. If not for my now lack of dependence on food and continually shrinking body - I'd never know I even had surgery. Congrats!

      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?
