I'm still in lots of pain 8 days post op anything besides Clear Liquids makes me feel yucky. I was going to sit on the couch I bent over to get a pillow and wham! It felt my entire abdominal wall ripped out especially around my belly button. I'm out of pain meds. Ugh I'm really regretting this surgery.

If I were you, I would put in a call to your Dr's office. There is no sense in you suffering when you don't have to. I'm a registered nurse, and my advice is to call. You're not dying, like you said, but when you're suffering, sometimes you wish you were.

When I had my surgery, everyone from the doctors to every nurse stressed the importance of letting them know if you're in pain. Research has shown that people in pain heal slower and pain can cause unnecessary complications. Call your doctor. Success does not have to be synonomous with suffering. Before you know it any thoughts of regret about having the surgery will melt away right along with the pounds. You're gonna love the new you!!

      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.
