So they're finally letting me go home today (5/30/13) !! They kept me an extra day because my oxygen levels were low. But all is good now. My weight before surgery was 370 but my heaviest is 389 which I'm very glad I lost beforehand. Abdominal area still hurts but hopefully this pain medicine kicks in soon lol. Until then just going to have my 4oz of chicken broth for dinner then more Water !!!

Thank you all so much !! Still having a lil abdominal pain but ok. I felt like the meds were stronger in the hospital. And curious does anyone know If I can remove the bandages yet ?! It's been like 4 days . . I called the nurse earlier but still no response.

      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.
