Hey everyone! Just a quick update.... I made it through to better healthier me. Had a some pain in the beginning and my surgery took 3 hours instead of the first thought 1 1/2 hrs. My surgeon says I have a really narrow torso which made it hard to access everything. I also had to have 5 incisions instead of 3. But overall I am walking great. Just some pain with swallowing once it hits my stomach. Passing gas okay to. About to head home just wanted to check in with you all. Let me know if u have any questions for me!

Congrats! Glad it all went well. Is there anything that sticks out that you would want to tell us? Like if you could go back in time and tell yourself something that you didn't already know what would it be? Does that sound silly? Lol

Nothing stands out yet. Waiting for things to heal so I can intake more. Kind of worried about how long that will take. Other than that ask your nurses and doctor tons of questions.

      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?
