my instructions were to call the doctor if a serious pain persisted for more than 4 hours. i would recommend calling your surgeon to ask. always better safe than sorry! i hope you feel better soon!!! please keep us posted.

Carissa,

Have you called your physician, at this point? Hopefully, you are feeling better. Maybe you felt crappy because of something you ate today. It takes a while to pass.

Take it easy on your new tummy. Sounds like you are doing good over all. Remember we had the same date 7/30!!

Carissa - the nurse in me wants to know how you are feeling otherwise? Temp? Vomiting? Bowel movements? Are you still taking pain meds? Have you gotten your proteins/ Water? I know I wasn't getting my water and I had headache and was very tired- my husband kept reminding me that's why I'm home RECOVERING - but new pain that Last longer than a few hours and doesn't Go away is something I would probably let The md know about - :)

      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.
