Question for the more seasoned sleevers out there. I'm almost 4 months post-op, and I notice that if I eat too much or too fast, my stomach goes through this process that normally lasts an hour or two. There's a pain that builds over the course of about 2-4 minutes, and just as it reaches an apex of discomfort, I hear a little gurgle, and the pain subsides, then the process starts over again. Sometimes it will get so bad that I get nauseous, and have to visit a bathroom, but the only thing that comes up is a bunch of mucous. If I abuse my poor little pouch too much, I have to give it a soft-food day of rest before I can think about solid foods again.

Does this sound familiar with anyone?

      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?
