Surgery tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I took Prilosec today for the gas, it was the best thing my Dr. Told me to take. I was able to take sips, of Water, and isopure.. I space it out.. I can really feel the fullness.. I walked today outside my house came back exhausted, and took a nap.. And my fever is gone and I didn't vomit today, slowly but surely.. I pray everyone else is ok.

Sorry for the delay in update, so here's my story so far. Surgery was on 9/24 at 115pm, I was in recovery by 4pm in horrible pain (had sleeve & hiatal hernia). Was given strong pain meds which helped. Once back in room was made to walk within 2 hours. Gas was horrible and spending night in hospital was sleepless and painful since I didn't ask for pain meds in time. Note to all ask for pain meds early. From there it all changed, after that horrible tasting leak test I was informed of no leaks and started on liquid diet. After drinking about 12 to 14 oz of various liquids over 4 hours I was cleared for release. YEAH. Went home took I pain pill and haven't looked back since, no pain, just some gas that gas x took care of. Was able to get 30g Protein Shake down on Friday and have increased to 60+ grams of Protein Shakes, sf Jello, and 28oz of Water down per day. I actually went back to work today (only 1/2 day) but its a start. Had buyers remorse Friday but as of today only bad effect is tiredness. Even normal bowel movements have returned. I'm down 5 pounds since pre-surgery and happy. Have a follow up tomorrow with my doctor. Just to all take it slow, walk as much as possible and take deep breaths. While the journey started out tough I'm looking forwards with positive thoughts.

      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.
