Hello, I'm new to the group. I am just five days out from my surgery, and down 10 pounds already. I do have a mental feeling that I need to eat something, but I know it's all just mental.

My sleeve was April 2. Down 14 from when I came home. Concerned I have hunger pains. Anyone else dealing with this?

Hunger pains? Mm I hope I don't get those and maybe it's just in the beginning while your new stomach recovers from being swollen!

Okay, had my post op today. Asked Dr. Pesta about the hunger pains. I'm stick with it. Requires more discipline then because I could want to eat more than allowed. Not happy. They hurt. Truly hoping it's a stomach acid thing that would calm down later. Oh well, losing so happy.

also sleeved on the 6th. I get bad tummy gurgles, but no actual hunger. although have had some head hunger, even in my dream last night.

Did your guys doctors put you on anything for the stomach acid? I have noticed mine gets worse if I don't remember to take my pepcid at around the same time each day.

Hi, I just got home from Juarez Mexico today - surgery was Saturday April 11th. I was given a 2 month supply of acid protector to take 2 times per day.

      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?
