@@Ilovecats1985 I'm the infamous 39 year old crazy cat man! hahaha

You are a rare gem my friend!
Haha yeah I have found that out. lol
How many do you have? I have 3 in my house and one stray I take care of outside. I keep pushing for a fourth in the house so my boy will have a buddy. The two girls are so mean and bitter all the time. Lol!

I just sent you a message, I'm sure others might not enjoy cat talk. lol

Thank you for this thread! I had no idea how long it might take and it is helpful in planning my post-op responsibilities.

I had a surgery on Tuesday and drove back to college on Saturday. I kept a pillow over my sorest incision and had it tucked in my seat belt for bumps or anything. It helped a lot.

I was told no driving for two weeks! Luckily where I live the public transport is great and there is a lot in walking distance. I only use my car once a week anyway.

      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?
