So glad to see how positive you are after surgery sassyfrass! I missed you! So happy to know that the discomfort is not too extreme. I was given a prescription for oxycodone for home after surgery, but I'm not sure I want to even fill it. If the pain is manageable, then I'd rather just do liquid tylenol. I'm not too hip on taking opiods.

What the heck is "man fat" and how is it different than "woman fat"? I'm glad though that you had this done now rather than have waited for something terrible to happen a few years down the road.

Get your rest. We will chit-chat later. Glad to hear that you are doing so fabulous!!!

Yaah! We are here to read how it goes. Sometimes waiting is harder than being done with the surgery....

Best of luck and keep posting! You are on the good side now and wonderful things are about to happen to your life!

Unlike the alternative, which was a disaster it appears from your dr.

Day 3: the pain is pretty intense. More than I was expecting. I know part of it is gas but the other is linked to my incisions and the rearrangement of my organs. Lol. It feels like I did a ridiculous ab workout. I was up at 4 am in some severe pain and I think I may have drank a little too much too fast. I got to experience sliming for the first time. Ick....

I go in for a follow up today and may potentially receive an IV of fluids just as a precaution. I'm able to get my fluids in rather easily so far.

I am very relieved for you.

You are going to be a model patient as you have been all along. You will reap every possible benefit from taking this action to improve your health.

Very, very scary to consider what may have been had you not.............

Proud of ya !

You also strike me as someone who's gonna push themselves really hard. Please take time to recover and heal properly first, though !!!! Very happy for you.

Well done and congrats on being on the other side of things now.

Each day of your life will now be more healthy than the last.

      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?
