Hi friends. I am on my way to the hospital right now and I'm a little nervous. Prayers and good thoughts needed. I'm getting revision from Lapland to gastric bypass.

Thank you for all your prayers and warm thoughts. I am 1 day post op and thank God I don't have a drainage tube instead of 5 incisions I only got 4. I was feeling better yesterday after surgery but today I'm in a little bit more pain and have nausea. Again thank you for your thoughts and prayers

Once you move off the heavy pain meds you'll start to feel better. Each day gets better!

i actually have experienced more pain 2.5 weeks post op than i did in the hospital - and that is because i had excellent pain management in the hospital. i stopped the painkiller (lortab) 2.5 weeks post op - and that was a mistake. but i wanted to get off the lortab because it makes my thinking cloudy.

i wish everyone success! i remain grateful to everyone on this forum who has shared experiences. i am trying to share mine to make a contribution back to the community

my advice is: keep taking your pain medication. now i know why my surgeon gave me 3 refills on the lortab

      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.
