So I had my surgery yesterday! My surgeon said everything went great. When i woke up my stomach was killing me! I kept falling asleep and waking up while in recovery..Today they started my liquid diet, but i have no desire to put anything in my mouth except these ice chips. They took away my PCA this morning so now im forced to drink liquid medicine for the pain. It is so nasty. And hardly WORKING. I walked last night, that was painful, and walked again not too long ago this morning..and felt a little better. But after my morning walk im feeling a little crappy again. :/

Hope your recovery goes smoothly. Walk...even if you dont feel like it, it really helps get rid of gas and will make you feel better. Hang in there, this is tough...but you are worth the effort!!

You'll need to rest, walk, sip....rest, walk, sip....keep repeating! Take the meds, dont try to be a hero.... be comfortable!

Good luck!! keep us posted!

      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.
