My mom is on my case to try to go to work today so I don't lose the holiday pay. Trust me. I don't want to lose double time a d a half - but the pain is unbearable. The roxicet has started making me nauseated so I have only been taking it at night and I'm trying extra strength Tylenol to get thru the day. I guess I'll be putting a call in to the doctor again tomorrow about pain management. This is awful.

I pray you get better soon! Do not push yourself. Yeah time and a half would be great but if you are in pain you might not even last the day. You need to rest and heal. There are always other holidays I'm sure you can get the time and a half. Please take care of yourself and hopefully you will be back to feeling better quickly!

This pain really is just awful. It isn't the soreness I had with the first surgery. All of this pain is inside. Moving, breathing deeply, getting up and down from sitting or laying - it's all excruciating. Because my case wasn't normal my doctor has nothing to compare it to. I don't want anything but ice Water. Nothing else tastes right. Tried Protein and it turned my stomach. I could only stand up long enough in the shower to wash my hair and my face. Bummer because long hot showers were my savior after my first surgery.

Kristlynngirl - I'm so sorry you are still in so much pain. I'm sure you are aware, but do not let too much time elapse between taking your pain meds. It will get better. Take it easy and get plenty of rest. I will continue to pray for you and a speedy recovery. It gets better...hang in there.

I'm really wondering if any part of this was the right decision. I'm still in so much pain. My surgeons office is closed til Monday. I called my pcp but they won't do anything without the surgeon. Why'd I have to be the worst case he's seen in 14 years? I wouldn't wish this on everyone. I'm so full of regret right now.

Went to the ER. Blood work and X-rays normal. Discharged after some dilaudid and IV fluids. Given a prescription for zofran so I can tolerate the pain meds.

So sorry you're having so many problems.

The taste of the roxicet is making me gag even with the zofran. Just revisited my Greek yogurt strawberry smoothie as soon as the roxicet hit my throat. All over my shirt, glasses, toilet, bathroom rug, ugh.

      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?
