Surgery today, in recovery



Recommended Posts

Arrived for checking in at 7:15 this morning.

Got walked back to the OR around 8. woke up around 11,

Not very much pain so far, did a small walk from the post op area to my recovery area, only about 10 yards around 11:20,

Have been able to already manage 6 to 8 oz of Water, very minimal pain so far. Found out I had a small hiatal hernia as well which was repaired.

Blood sugar still coming down from the initial levels, so far so good. I keep dozing in and out for 10 minutes at a time.

Had the sleeve done, accidentally posted here in the bypass forum. I blame the drugs.

      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.
