Hello, I'm glad your surgery went well. What are high keyones? So you only took a week off work and you feel completely healed or your still a little sore? I don't have my surgery date yet but I was thinking of getting a week off work, but wasn't sure if that was enough time.

Hi Mia, my surgery went great, as you see in my previous post. I never had pain. If anything I describe it as having your gallbladder removed no pain just tender around belly button area. I dd take pain meds in hosp as scheduled whether I needed them or not. I slept, peed, walked. Over &over. It went really well for me. Off pain meds since 2/21. I work as a clinical research coordinator so desk work. Gook luck.

Isn't that pushing it? My surgeon recommends a month off for healing. He says ill feel like returning but my insides need to heal. Be careful all you who plan on limited time off. You've had major reworking of your innards!!

Would the WLS and a c-section be considered the same? Both of them has to do with your insides needing healing.

Hi ladies still doing well. Yes I guess you could it's pushing it but I kinda had no choice. I work in a 2person office and my counter partner had an out of town trip planned so I had to gt back. It was a good thing I didn't have any complications. Huh. Then she was supposed to be back today and her son ended up having an appendicitis out of town. So he will n hospital till Wednesday. So I'm flying sole. Believe me I am there sitting behind a desk only. I will not over do it or hurt myself. I love me too much. Lol

      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.
