Good to hear you are doing so well. I felt that weird growling at first as well but chalked it up to healing to quiet the head hunger. The food commercials got to me at first but now almost 3 weeks out I am addicted to the food Network. I DVR so many and even watch repeats LOL. My husband and kids thinks it is weird but it is strangely helping me right now. Best of luck to you :D

Good deal! I know, my first day at home alone, I was quite sad, but I made a day of it. Remember to walk, walk, walk!

I'm 4 days post op also. Also had a hernia repair. Good to know you're still having pain. Kinda feels like a lump in my throat/neck. Idk. It's weird and difficult to describe. I think the hernia repair has been harder to recover from than the sleeve.

      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?
