The left side is where most of your pain will be...it is where they do most of the "work"....my surgeon told me beforehand to expect it. A heating pad helped me...and of course pain meds:)

Thanks ladies. Doc thought maybe small hematoma and put ice on it. I was expecting a lot more pain, so I am excited to drink with no complications. Now, if I could fart! Ugh.....

I didn't fart for the first time until right before I came home, mostly burping which my doc was happy with. The embarrassing thing was the fart was awful and right afterward my pharmacy tech came to consult on my post op meds. Icky! I felt bad, but he was totally cool about it. Still mostly just burping (4 days post op) unless I am lying down.

      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?
