I had my Sleeve surgery on 9/10/15. So far I am so uncomfortable. The 1st week, I was so bloated. My intake on Water and Protein Shakes weren't good at all. I always felt full. I had to make myself sip, sip, sip so I wouldn't dehydrate. Did anyone feel the spasms sensation in stomach? Its not as bad now ( in 4th week)...I just feel sore and uncomfortable. Ready to feel better...

Hang in there... It will get better. Each week gets a little easier until all of this post-op stuff starts to become a distant memory. I promise! Be sure to eat slowly and don't over eat to prevent the stomach spasms. Best of luck.

I also wanted to say that for constipation the hands down best thing I used was "Smooth Move Tea" You can buy it in the grocery store. If you drink a half cup before bed each night it will help. It also counts as liquid so that's a bonus. I tried a bunch of other stuff before someone here on Bariatricpal recommended this, and nothing worked.. this is the best.

      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?
