I was banded Monday. I am exhausted, terrible gas pains and can't take more than 2 sips in a half hour period. I plan to return to work Monday and I still can't brush my teeth!

Give yourself some time to adjust. I am 7 days post op and feel a little better each day. I am still sore and a bit bloated. I don't think I did anything but sleep for the first 4 days. Around day 5 I had more motivation and no more need for any pain/nausea meds. Just listen to what your body is telling you it needs. Best wishes to you both!

you should be tired for several days rest and heal , you will feel better soon

It will get better but now is the time to be kind to yourself and rest up. I took two weeks off of work because I wanted to really focus on myself during that pre-op time with a lot of time to walk and rest and it was a lifesaver for me!

      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?
