4 day post op, Australia



Recommended Posts

I am also 4 days post op, well 5 now I guess. Kind of surprised how well everything has gone so far, incisions were only 5 small cuts all about a half inch. Looks like they'll heal just fine! I hope your post op experience has been as easy as well! My issues have been with what feels like hunger pains and trying to get used to sugar free products.

Oh yeah I live alone so I had to start moving right away! I've been very secretive about my surgery because I have too many gossipy family members so I set myself up well in advance for a week of staying home alone. It's been nice I go back to work tomorrow and am looking forward to it. im in Ohio and we have about 8 inches of snow coming tonight and tomorrow so I might get snowed in one more day! Hope you're feeling better!

      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.
