I had my surgery on Monday August 3rd. Wow I feel like I got my a$$ beat lol it's so painful this time around. I remember back in 2012 for lap band I got up from my bed as soon as they got me to my room and felt fine, this time around it took me 3 days to get rid of the groggy feeling from anesthesia and the pain where my port was is unreal every time I stand I see stars. Wonder if it has to do with the robotic assistance any ways kinda of glad it's over wouldn't want to do that again..

Believe it or not, it does get better.

My husband kept reminding me that I'm not 20 anymore. I don't remember my C-sections being so painful. The first week was the worst but then I figured out that my husband was giving me 1 pain pill every 4 hours and the script called for 2 every 4 hours. I didn't see the actual bottle until the 2nd week when he went back to work. I told him he was fired as my caregiver.

When I came back to work at one month my BFF asked me if I'm glad I did it. I told her to ask me again at 2 months. But 4 months out, I am happy and glad I did it.

Hang in there Jackie and Good luck!

      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.
