Band to RNY yesterday. Ok so I'm thinking the recovery sucks, but I'm trying hard to do everything I'm supposed to. Pain is down to medium- mild still. Had quite a bit of nausea first 12 hrs. Ready to get over surgery. I sleep ALOT. Dont regret doing it per say but hating this feeling right now. Soon be better I hope.

I'm one week out and completely understand the wanting to be over the surgery. They just don't prepare you for the pain and discomfort, do they? I also had the nausea and was give. Some patch behind my ear. It was like a little miracle! Hang in there!

I'm 2 months post op and I still use the patch. The pain continued for 4 weeks post op also. Hang in there. It has been a difficult recovery for me but I sure don't regret it. I'm almost 40 lbs lighter since surgery!

      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?
