Hi! Dr. Mecenes did my surgery on Dec. 16. I spent two days in the hospital and was out of bed five hours after the surgery. Walking very slowly down the hall. I had rny gastric bypass surgery. Right now I am feeling tired with minimal pain. I try to sip my Water every 2 minute and getting the Protein in is getting better.

I was very happy with Cayuaga hospital and the staff on the step down floor were amazing. I went to many support meetings before the surgery and this helped me a great deal.

Dr. Mecenes is an excellent surgeon. I felt the whole experience has been very positive.

Today is day five post op and the more I try to move the better I feel. Maybe just a short walk through the house. I am taking about 2 tbls. of motrin in the morning and 2 tbls. before I go to bed.

Would love to hear from you and maybe we can encourage each other through this amazing journey. Happy Holidays!

      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.
