I'm 9 days post op. I can hardly stand for 5 minutes without getting out of breath. I can't take my Vitamins, they make me sick. I'm getting all my Protein in. Not my Water though. I started my period today, maybe that's it? Idk.. I'm wondering if I should go to the hospital... My Bari center is closed today.

I'm certainly no expert but breathing difficulty is so not right, why would this be linked to your period? Go and get yourself checked out. If it is dehydration they can give IV fluids, if it is nothing they can reassure you.

I'm exhausted without doing much physical activity. I can't even do laundry. During my period I feel more tired. That's why I didn't know if it had anything to do with it. I'll see how I'm feeling tonight. Might go get some IV fluids.

I'd go to the hospital. I bet u need an IV infusion. Once you're not so dehydrated I bet you'll feel better.

That's so weird....on day 9 I was feeling super fatigued and crampy and achy. Almost like I was getting the flu. Still felt off the morning of day 10, but went to work and was feeling normal by the afternoon. Not to say you shouldn't seek help, but it's ironic that was the same day I felt that way.

I have a standing order for IV fluids at a local walk in clinic. I haven't had to use it yet. I was surprised a walk in clinic could give IV fluids. Maybe this would be a good route to avoid an emergency room co-pay if you end up needing fluids.

Feeling better today. Forced down tons of liquids and had my husband pick up gummy vitamins from cvs. I must have been dehydrated and partly malnourished.

Thank goodness. I've really been worried as I follow your progress.

      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?
