Hi there!!

All went really well! Got home yesterday, sipping Water and shakes and doing really great! The pain is very manageable so I'm not using the pain meds as much but it was hard to find a pharmacy that had the pain med in liquid form. If you can, have it filled at the hospital pharmacy. Cvs called 8 other CVSs for me and they finally broke down and called a Rote Aide that had it! ????.

There are only two other things that bother me: the fact that I'm 13lbs heavier than when I went in the hospital and that my hands and legs are so swollen. But I'm told that both issues will remedy themselves in the next few days.

When is your surgery? Are you doing a revision also?

Good luck!

Best regards,

Crash!

      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.
