YES very, very normal!!! That's why most drs tell you not to weigh yourself until you come in to visit them, in the beginning. Your body is bloated from the drugs in the hospital and other things that are done...it will dissipait soon...you need to be patient with yourself during this healing process! ;) I know...easier said than done...

Even tho you just have a few small scars on the outside, your insides are stitched up like Frankensteins monster :blink: !!! It will take weeks to heal from the inside out.

Focus on your fluids, Vitamins, walk and relax...it won't be long before you start "melting" :D

Thanks for reply! I think I'm just feeling a little down and trying to deal with this life changing event. My focus is all on this procedure and need to focus on the future for a healthier, better lifestyle

      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?
