Had my surgery September 24th



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on September 24th with Dr Baranov at Saratoga Hospital. I've been home now for 2days and feeling great.

My recovery has been easy, not too much pain and just getting to know the limits of my new pouch.

I'm drinking/sipping Water, taking in 1-2oz of Protein Shake 3 times a day and walking at least 30 minutes 2 times per day.

I feel fantastic and can't wait for more days to come. My husband, my son and my parents have been a big part of this journey and I think because of their support I'm doing so well.

I also had my surgery Sept 24th! I'm still amazed at how quickly I was able to get up walking around with no pain. I'm still on Clear Liquids for 2 more days but taking them in well and no nausea thus far.

Best of luck with your journey!

Wow, I'm impressed you are having shakes the first week! My surgeon only allows clear liquid for 7 days. Which for me is Isopure and Water. Actually got sick off the isopure and had to stop. Now I'm just having water and fat free chicken broth. Start 2nd week tomorrow and can't wait to have a shake! 2nd week is full liquids.

      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?
