How are you feeling, snowkitten?

Fever is gone but the swelling has turned a light pink. I'm going to call the surgeons office tomorrow. Thanks for asking

After calling the surgeons office and telling him all my symptoms he told me to go get blood work and then come in right after. You were all right (I can admit when I'm wrong, really I can) , he said I should have come in right away.

He's having me do a stool sample to test for cdiff (for the diarrhea and nausea) and a CT scan to look for leaks or abcesses. I'll keep everyone updated when I know more.

Thank you all! I'm finally home after running all over the place. I won't know the CT scan results until tomorrow. And not sure about the other test, I have to do that tomorrow. I'll keep everyone updated.

      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?
