I had my surgery last Wednesday. I felt kind of rough the first day home, but now feel really good. Very little pain....more feels like there is a weight on my stomach. I've been careful about what I eat and have done some walking. I've only lost 4 pounds since surgery. I was expecting more. Is this normal? I'm impatiently waiting to see results.

Did you weigh right before and right after? I went in weighing 237 but gained up to 250 because of all the fluids and stuff. It took me like 5 days just to get back to the 237 and then start losing.

They weighed me right before surgery. I weighed the day after I got home and had lost 4 pounds. Haven't lost anything more. I'll try again in a few days and see if anything has happened.

That's great news. I'm at Mid Dakota as i text. Made it through with Dr Brooks so the next couple hours should be great.

      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?
