I all. I have a silly question. I'm in the clearance phase and I probably will have surgery in April. I have a cruise booked for thanksgiving week in November. I will be 7 months post op by then. do you think I will be ok to go? Meaning will I be on reg food by then? Do you think I will be ok to do vigorous activities? Thanks for any input.

I'm flying to Greece when I'm 4 1/2 months post op. I'll be climbing mountains and walking a lot but I'm confident I'll be fine. A cruise should offer unlimited food selections that are diet friendly so you should be good to go. If you are exercising all along you should be strong enough to do anything you wish to do. Good luck.

As long a there are no complications (just being real) you will be perfectly fine! I am going to Florida (Disney world/universal) in July, I will be 7 months out by then, and I am ALREADY ready to go!!! Have a great time on your cruise!

I am 3.5 months out - I can do anything I did prior to surgery. I just returned from a trip to San Francisco where my husband and I walked all over the city, including the really steep hills. We had a great time.

For food - I have no restrictions. I am free to eat anything I want. I follow my docs rule of Protein first and if I have room, a couple of bites of vegetable and if there is room, maybe some bread. I don't get the to bread. :-)

At 7 months, you should be living a normal life, assuming you had no complications. Enjoy!!!!!!

Hi you were in my neck of the woods. Did you get stuck in the rain storms we had?

      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?
