I can't really speak to #1 or #3 because I didn't have those issues. But having no energy? I can so relate! It was driving me crazy. I was reading the forums and saw many responses telling others who had the same problem to just be patient and give it more time. Many said at 3 months, it is much, much better. And they were right! Each week I felt a little better but still very tired and worn out even though I wasn't doing anything! Then at about 9 weeks I noticed a considerable difference but still not feeling like myself. Finally at 12 weeks I began to feel normal again which was great because I was missing me (not the physical, body weight loss, that was great!). Give yourself 3 months and if the energy comes back sooner, great! If not, just wait it out because it will get A LOT better. :)

Thanks, I will pass this along to my wife. She has lost 25 lbs since the Jan 5 surgery, which in itself is enough reason to be tired. I just passed 40. I do find I need another hour or two a night of sleep more than before the surgery.

Question, now that she is well into the healing of the incision, she told me that she has not lost weight in about two weeks. Is this plateauing 4-6 weeks after surgery something that can happen? Thanks

      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?
