I'm from Lakeland FL and just had Gastric bypass in Tampa a week ago. It was rough at first but just a week out I feel so much better. Good luck and let us know how you do.

They almost had to do an emergency surgery on me yesterday because I was feeling really sharp pains and couldn't stand or sit up without hunching over. After getting an X-ray and CT scan I was told that I could possibly have an obstruction. While moving me to the prep room I felt a lot of movement in my stomach and before you knew it I passed my first gas. The surgeon still wanted to watch me today to see how I felt and go my surprise I'll be going home tonight. After passing gases last night and pooping twice this morning, I feel much better than before. ????

      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?
