Just wondering about the tummy bug.. I was around a man a few days ago that had it and now I'm nauseous, since our pouch is small does it change anything when we get the tummy flu?

I had the flu a few months ago at about 8 months post op. I felt it was alot worse than pre op flu. Since the pouch is so small, I felt I was dry heaving so much because there was nothing to come out. It was horrible!

      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?
