Recommended Posts

Hey all im finally sleeved and i muat say ive had an incredible ride here. Ive had a little pain in my incisions so little i havent even had pain medication. Also my surgeon did an incredible job with taking most if not all the gases. I have not felt anything as far as gas pain goes. I honestly except for the little discomfort in my incisions i feel 100% normal. Im hoping it continues. They gave me nothing today by mouth. Tomorrow they do my leak test and then start to zip Water. Hopefully by Friday i can go home!

That's so great! Mine is scheduled for June 11th, it's very comforting to know your doing so wonderful so soon after surgery. I won't lie, I'm kinda terrified about the surgery part! I hope the rest of your journey is smooth sailing!

Thank you guys for the well wishes i know you all will do great. Yes i was terrified, especially when i got to the OR and thought to myself "wow this is really it, no turning back now" but the anesthesiologist gave me something to relax and told me ill see you in a few minutes and i was out. Didn't feel a thing i think i even had a dream lol. But still doing great. Im off oxygen hopefully ill continue like this.

      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?
