I don't think you're gonna die. You just need to baby your new sleeve right now and follow your doc's instructions. I'm sure you'll feel better soon, and then be careful from here on out. If pain is really bad seek medical help.

You are not going to die but follow your doctors orders. They are there for a reason.

Don't forget you've just had major surgery. It will take some time to settle, but promise it will. Take your pain meds, stick to fluids only, I was allowed milky drinks here in the UK. If things don't ease up in the next few days just check in with your doctor. It does get better and it is so worth it. Good luck with your new life.

Wow...ice cream?? Tsk Tsk Tsk... live and learn sweety. Stick to Clear liquids, broth, sugar free pops, Jello, and i guarantee in about 2 days you'll feel good and in 5 days you'll feel almost like your old self, but lighter. Stay positive and walk walk walk, that's the ONLY thing that really helps gas/bloating pain. Walk every two hours, especially after eating/drinking anything and drink very small sips. I am 6 weeks out today and feel AMAZING!! Have lost 21 lbs since surgery down 2 dress sizes, have more energy now, no pain, eat real food (tiny amounts which I am good with) and feel terrific and happy. Good luck!

Yes, I had a hard time at least the first five days with the Protein Shakes. Not only did they make my stomach upset but it seemed my tastes buds changed and the were just nasty to me. I went to the GNC and bought a few of their Isopure drinks that have 40 g of Protein each. I can now tolerate the shakes again. 11 days out and I wish u much luck!!!

Hope you continue to feel better day by day. Review the information you have been given to ensure you are indeed following your doctor and nutritionist's specific week by week eating guides. I had my sleeve with hiatial hernia repair on 6/12 and today is my day 4 and I'm feeling pretty good, but I know everyone is so different.

      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?
