At first it was a little rough for me.. I'm not good with anesthia so I got sick. I'm down almost 34 pds and thurs will be 6 weeks. My only problem is trying to get all my fluids in.. Honestly it changed my life ! It's deff hard at first but it's all worth it in the end

To me it was deff worth it! No draining tube! That day I was up and walking with no problem feeling good the problem I had was the anesthia made me sick so I was puking because I never handle it good with any surgery . With me puking it was causing pain in my stomach so I was at the hospital a little longer then the usual stay. If your ready to really work hard it's worth it it's not something that jus fixes the problem u deff have to work for the results but at the end of the day being healthy is what matters. I know for me I've been heavier for a while and being 19 with that problem doesn't feel so great! So I've finally started to feel good about getting healthy and doing what's right and I'm shedding the pds

I was only suppose to be there two days but I kept getting sick off the anesthia and puking so they kept me longer until it finally wore off and I was okay. When I was pukin it was putting strain on my stomach and it started to hurt . It usually doesn't happen but in my case it did because I can't handle anesthia

      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?
