Well I spent last night back in hospital (2 hours away from home). My fluttering heart never would stop and I got scared. Glad I came because they've gotten it under control and also became suspicious of a blood clot in my lungs. All that has checked out ok (thank God). Surgery was Monday and I thought I was doing so good. He said I'm not dehydrated but my magnesium was off. Hopefully this will be my only hiccup in the process.

I didn't do anything different that I can think of. I had this happen during my last pregnancy so dr thinks I may be having another spell of stress induced tachycardia. It's so darn uncomfortable, makes you scared and then that makes it worse!

Thank you! I just got home. It turns out that my potassium and magnesium were low. I also had an elevated level for blood clots- yikes! Thank God, no clots. I got infused with fluids all weekend and checked from one end to the other. I'm good to go and dying for the full liquid stage because hospital broth this weekend has just about done me in! I'm ready to get this show on the road. I'm going back to work tomorrow and ready to get in my routine.

      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?
