Hey everyone

I was sleeved on 3-10-16 and I still have my drain. I have to see my Dr tomorrow and see what's going on. The good news is I did the 14 day liquid diet, started on 2-25-16 and to date I have list 24 pounds. I hope we the dr can find out where I'm bleeding and get this drain out.

Good luck All!!!!!

Congratulations on your commitment! It's totally different, this whole 'dieting' thing when you know you're going in for a huge change that requires your strict adherence, and look, you did it!

How are you feeling? You have 'fresh' blood coming out of your drain? Other Vets here on the board will surely chime in. I didn't have a drain so I have no clue if this is normal. I do hope you get some answers and I'd like to know afterwards when you see your Dr. please.

I kept a thermometer and blood pressure cuff at home, I was ridiculous ... still am. :P

Hello, I haven't been on the site for awhile and wanted to post my progress.

As my last post said I still had my drain, well it was removed two days after that post. I feel great and I'm down 45 lbs so far. I'm on soft foods and I haven't had any trouble with any food so far.

I hear a lot of people talking about the three week stall and I'm happy to say I didn't have one. I'm 5 weeks out and 2 weeks of a liquid diet pre-op and loosing every week.

I'm off of 7 meds and no more shots for sugar.........

This is the best thing I ever did for me!!!!

I had a JP drain in my side. This slowly sucks out extra blood and Fluid from the surgery.

Update, down 47 pounds!!

      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?
