Recommended Posts

This is my little mile stone. I'm so excited since last week I'm down 17lbs. Woot woot. Feeling great. In total since pre op I'm down 36 lbs. Although I'm no way near my goal, some people have noticed a difference and im just getting started. I'm can't believe how excited I am to work out in the am now lol little weird. I remember hearing someone say, " motivation will get you started, habit will keep you going" finally getting more confidence. Thank u God

Good luck Nicey2U!

I am day 3 and will reiterate jezelle's comment on motivation. It would be real easy to lay in this bed because I am sore and it does feel weird to stand with the incisions: but once I got up moving and ate something the gas started moving out (burping, farting -- TMI sorry! ) I felt a lot better and it doesn't feel so scary.

The heating pad for my shoulder helped ( odd that it hurts there), and Chapstick really helped.

Seattleslew! The pain in your shoulder is a sign of a leak! You should go get that checked asap! I had surgery at cincinatti childrens where the 12 year old Alexis Shapiro did.. Have you heard her story? Well me and her became close, and thats how they found out she had a leak was from her shoulder pain! So please call your dr!

Day 1 post op was not bad because I had pain meds from surgery.. That first night was killer... So much gas pain in my cheat. My doc only gives tylonol and Percocet.... Well I was in so much pain these didn't touch it... So yesterday they gave me some stronger pain meds but he said only once so I walked walked walked while I could and farting was great!! I still have some check pain mostly right after I take the pill they give me cause I think it gets stuck in there.

      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?
