8 days post-op and couldn't be happier!



Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post op and just couldn't be a happier camper! This was a LOT easier than I could have imagined.

Day one was tough, as was the first few days. No problems with nausea and I stuck to the book. I am using shot glasses as my cups/bowls, and I bought some cool baby spoons/forks to use from here on out.

Ive been dropping weight like gangbusters. Prob 3-4 pounds a day at least. I am at the lowest weight in prob 15 years as of today.

My job keeps me pretty active (working at Microsoft in the labs, so some lifting and kicking servers into submission ;) and I was able to go back after 8 days. As such, one can expect to get a good portion of their strength back in fairly short order. Naturally, I am going to take it a tad easy for a couple of weeks, but my fears of being laid up for a long duration were unwarranted.

I encourage everyone considering the sleeve to jump in with both feet and never look back. I have taken my life back, and am loving every single monument of it.

      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?
