I know a lot of people confuse hunger for acid reflux, but I think this is the genuine thing. I take prilosec twice a day. The hunger doesn't feel exactly the same as before, it's not as uncomfortable as hunger pains used to be, or as often. My tummy doesn't really rumble either. It kinda feels like it's about to, then it doesn't. Eating makes it go away.

I'm only a month out and I'm kinda disappointed that I do feel hungry. I thought this wasn't supposed to hit me for about a year! If I'm one of the unlucky few that does feel hunger already, how can I expect my experience of the sleeve to change after the year? Will I get more hungry, or does it stay about the same?

My Dr. Change my medication until we found the right one that worked for me. I'm on a very high dose little 80 mg. of nexium and it really works for me. Now I must remind myself to eat and drink every day. Well at the beginning just felt my surgery didn't work like everyone else's sleeve, but that has changed after finding the right medication and dosage. Good luck

      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?
