Hi all, wish me luck. Really nervous right now and being a nurse does not help. All kinds of things are running through my head. Will update later.

:) Wish you smooth travels into our lap band world! Where are you from? Being a nurse will surely be of good help to you. You have the schooling on nutrition which seems to me would make it "right on"

Be the pt for now. Leave the nursing behind. Its very easy to believe we know whats best when this is as "greek" to us as it is to everyone else, even as nurses. My mother was a dietician and I was still a fat person. I knew the rules, just didn't know how to apply them. You'll do great. Come back and let us know how it all went once you feel like it.

Hi all, well i'm doing well post op day 2. Had my surgery on 2/18. I'm on full liquids right now. Pain is better today but mostly sore when i sit, lay, or get up. Gas is much better today too. It's moving down now so no more shoulder pain which was rough the first day and the next day. Hate my Bariatric Advantage Vitamins because they taste gross. Thanks for everyone's support.

      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?
