First night home from my RNY surgery. I'm overwhelmed with how to care for my wounds, staying hydrated and getting all the nutrients I need. I have to pace myself to get everything done. I know I can do it! Its just the beginning of a life long journey to a better me!

You will do great. Just take it one day at a time. It is surprisingly hard to get all the liquids and Protein in the first few weeks but I promise you it will happen. At this point you have to do what you can, the most important thing is to stay hydrated. Sip sip sip.....then comes Protein and lots of walking.

It will work out and you will be amazed with the results.

Good luck!

I'm doing well!! Minor pains in the abdomen area I guess from the staples and muscles healing. Still trying to get all fluids in and that's a task! But overall I'm good one day at a time! Thanks for asking!!

      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?
