16 days post op and I'm dying for a glass of Merlot... Has anyone drank so soon after surgery? And if so, any complications?

I had a few sips at about four weeks. It didn't make me feel so hot. I had some whisky on the rocks and that was better. I'm not much of a drinker at all, that was the first drink of had in probably a year! But the sugar in wine makes me nervous. I didn't feel like it gave me a buzz faster anyhow ... :). Try it! Just be very careful and moderate in your tasting. Your body has been through a lot.

My doctor says none for a year and for me I probably won't again for a long long time but every doctor is different

Decaf coffee is still very acidic even without the caffeine. I'm a big coffee drinker now, before surgery, but am weaning myself off slowly and don't plan on re-introducing it afterwards, at least for a long time. I've gone off it entirely several times before and did fine after the initial changes but never had a good enough reason to just stay off it.

      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?
