I had my sleeve surgery on Thursday. The first 24 hours were rough, I had a good deal of pain and some nausea. They were able to manage my nausea much better than the pain. My dr had only prescribed 2mg of morphine every 2 hours as needed and this just barely took the edge off. Friday morning I had my swallow test and had a little bit of a scare there as the radiologist said the barium was only "trickling" through but that it was most likely due to swelling. They went ahead and progressed me to thin liquids from NPO, so I was able to start sipping some Water. They changed up my pain meds and I started feeling much better from about 9am yesterday on.

I can still only take small sips of liquid as it feels like I am swallowing an air bubble almost every time. My stomach gurgles some after most every drink. It all seems to be getting a little easier every hour and I am feeling really good today. I will be on thin liquids for 9 more days which is fine since I don't really have any hunger to mention. I weighed this morning and I am down a total of 24lbs since starting the pre-op liquid diet just 2.5 weeks ago, so very happy on that front.

      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.
