post op ive found that caffeine will actually cause me heart palpitations, not a good thing, so my caffeine is limited to one cup of coffee per day, and other than that Decaf only stuff. So there's no way i can use the 5 hour energy. Unless i have no other sources of caffeine.

I have. I waited the required 30 days before having any caffeine, but I have had 5 Hour Energy a couple of times since then. Maybe 4-5 times? I'm 18 months post-op. I used my same strategy as pre-op with 5HE. I get the Extra Strength kind, but only drink half a bottle.

      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?
