This is the first time I ever heard about a feeding tube, ever. I had surgery 22 months ago.

They put a tub to breath while I was having the surfer so I had a sore throat. I had a cathador until I left the hospital 4 days later.

I am kinda shocked about a feeding be though. I was allergic to the liquid painmeds. So they put dalodin in my iv, then I was on 3 dalodin dry 4 hours for ² weeks after surgery.

Just ask your surgeon what they are gonna do cause every doctor is different.

Good luck :)

I had a drain tube and catheter they put in during surgery. I had no feeding tube although they did give me ice chips, sf popsicles and chicken broth at the hospital. They pulled out my cath to make sure I could pee some. Also the drain port they pulled out and it was very painless for them to pull it out. They stapled it shut but it was gauze and bandage on it not just staples and sticky tape like the others. It is also the site of my most painful pre-opo pain :( which unfortunately I still have. Everyone is different however!

      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.
