Okay so I'm a bit of a worrier, but I'm concerned. I'm 6 days post op and all my pain is gone. I went to sit up like normal and I felt what I can only describe as a POP in my middle-lower stomach (a couple inches to the left of my belly button, but an inch lower). It's not near any of my incisions and its way too low to be my pouch. I know I'm probably over thinking things but is that something after surgery?? Did I somehow pop a staple by accident??? Or is it just something random. There was no pain or anything like that (except my anxiety levels rising, LOL)

Hmm I am 8 days out... Still have pain not as much but I do... Whenever I get up I feel my insides are "rearranging" or going in place or some thing lol weird but doesn't really bother me. If you don't have pain I don't think you should worry about it.

I was parried today because two of my incisions have redness next to them and feels like burning up, and had a mild grade fever, called the dr and they were not too concerned, said most likely it's irritation from steristrips so we will see tomorrow.

I wouldn't worry too much if you don't feel pain, but why not call your surgeon's office it and run it by them to put your mind at rest?

      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?
