You're going to be expected to pee before you go. I was in a decent amount of pain and very sleepy. Hope everything goes well for you.

Where are you located as I'm headed to bed (Florida, USA here)

Leaving for the hospital in an hour ,surgery at11,excited and scared. What do I expect when i wake up ?

I felt a little pain and just general discomfort. I asked for a kleenex to blow my nose (who knows why?). I do remember saying yes to every inquiry of pain and therefore receiving pain meds. I found out later that I was very combative while coming out of anesthesia. That could explain my general discomfort.

I was thirsty. Oh my goodness. At some point I talked the nurse into letting me swish and spit b/c I was miserable.

It felt much better to be up and moving around, vs lying in bed.

My advice? When you get home make sure you have something you can grab onto or anchor yourself with when you try and get in and out of bed. Those stomach muscles are SORE!

I was allowed to drink right away well when I got to the second stage of recovery. First recovery was me asking for more pain meds every time they asked as well. Lol.

You're surgery is over by now & you know exactly what you could expect. I'm sure you are rockin' it!

Some people experience discomfort while others have a tougher time. If you are experience pain, ask for meds. Thank God for pain meds. LOL

      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.
