After having my bypass on june 11 and emergency surgery due to internal bleeding from blood thinners on june 13 i am finally out of the hospital and on my road to recovery! Feeling upbeat and ready to pursue my new life! Craving solid foods so bad tho! Lol i also stepped on the scale thinking i would be down after eating nothing for over a week but i ended up being up 14lbs from the day i went into surgery?! So bizarre!

That's just hospital fluids. It's not a real weight gain. I'm glad ur doing better and out of the hospital

After my surgery I weighed 13lbs more. After a week I was down to pre-surgery weight and the real losing started. Give it a week or so and you'll see a difference. :-)

      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?
