Only two? I have five incisions

I have two small incisions above my belly button and that's it, when they heal I don't think I'll have a scar. I also started my period the day I came home from the hospital. I'm 10 days post op, on full liquids just watery Protein Shakes, Water, and broth. I haven't taken any pain meds the bottle was never opened, I feel blessed to have the surgeon I did, since my pain tolerance is very low. 15lbs down and diabetes seems to be gone ????

For me the pain is much worse than c section. Not even in same league!

I am so uncomfortable after 48 hours I am starting to regret this whole thing, it's not the incisions it's the heart burn and gas.

I've never had kids and as I said before I have a low pain tolerance. When I was in the recovery room the gas pains were pretty bad they gave me some strong stuff, but I remembered that a lot of people on here had said that waking helps so as soon as I was able I walked and it did help.

My dr removed the pain pump less than 24 hours after the operation. Then 48 hours he removed all pain pills. Not only am I suffering from the surgery pain but I have a massive Migraine. I'm thinking of checking myself out just so I can get some proper medication to get rid of this head pain.

      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?
