I felt the same way when I began my process. I am 24 and had surgery on 9/14, I started the process in January and it was a long path to surgery but I can tell you it's 100 percent worth it. I am 3 weeks out and down 20pounds since they day of surgery. I know right now it seems like a lot to take in but if you take it step by step it will be worth it. Feel free to ask me any questions/advice.

Surprisingly no, I was sore where the stitches were and slightly uncomfortable but nothing as bad as I thought I would be. Also was able to walk right away.

      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?
