Good Morning! So my surgery was at 1:15 yesterday. I was back to my room by 3:30 or 4:00. I ended up having a drain put in to one of my incisions but I wouldn't even know if it was there. Since my surgery was so late in the day I have to stay 2 nights. I didn't sleep much last night. I was up and walking by 6 pm last night and have been walking about every 2 hours. I've been eating ice all night long but they are getting ready to pass out Breakfast. Which I'm not too hungry. I am still very sore. I wouldn't expect any less though. I will keep updating as new things happen! Thank you for all of the wonderful thoughts!

Well I was able to come home today!! So exciting, although I'm a little overwhelmed! I'm still pretty sore and my belly makes this funny noise and feeling. It's like it's talking to me. I ate my first FULL liquid 2 oz meal today which was mashed potatoes!! I've walked a good amount but I am pretty tired. A hospital is not a time to rest that's for sure. ;) I'll talk to you guys soon!!

      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?
