Has anyone noticed an increase in energy? My surgery is a couple of days away and I;'m hoping to have more energy to get things done. It feels like I'm always tired.

You will be pretty worn out the first several weeks after surgery. I'm noticing now at 2 months out and 34 lbs down I have quite a bit of energy. I also walk 5 days a week and am joining a gym this week now that the weather is turning. Good luck and good healing with your upcoming surgery :)

Force yourself to exercise once your surgeon gives you the go ahead. It increases your metabolism and you will have new found energy...it's awesome!

YES! Before surgery it took all my energy to make it through life and I lived every hour of that life tired. Now I can sleep 7 hours and be perfectly rested all day. Never even considering a nap. That effect is better than even the weight loss itself.

@@Sunnyskies2283 that's what I am hoping to have happen to me. I didn't notice how tired I've become since putting on all of this weight. i can't wait for it to be gone!

      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?
