Me! Had mine around 11 AM on Sept 1. Was in my hospital room by 2:30 PM, and check out the next day about noon. So, this is my first full day home.

I'm allowed to go to full Protein drinks as soon as I like, so last night, I tried my beloved PP, but it just seemed too rich for for me. This morning, however, I managed all of a Syntrax nectar Roadside Lemonade. I'm also on liquid Vicodin every 4 hours, omaprazole once a day, and an anti-nausea drug when I need it. Last night I was up for my 4 AM dose and threw up a little bit. I think I was taking too big sips. Anyway, I used the anti-nausea drug then.

Right now I'm having small cups of cinnamon tea and of PP chocolate, with the aim of finishing up the chocolate shake by six PM. Painwise, I'm most sore getting out of bed, but sitting in my chair or walking have been pretty okay for me. Ooo, and I have passed gas and a tiny uh, poo. :-) I'm watching out for sharts, though. :-)

I was sleeved Tues too. Came home Thursday and so far so good. Can't get all the liquids down yet, but will be trying to increase them today. I'm very gassy today but no pain.

Incision pain for me is the worst. They also gave me shots in my stomach for nausea or something so that could also be the reason for soreness. If I wasn't sore I think Id feel so much better. But again the pain is like a sore tender burning sensation. Its gotten better as the days have progressed. I walk around the block after every "meal" to help with gas and reflux. Already overdid Water this morning

      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?
