I really wish I never had the sleeve. I am in so much pain. I ended up going to the hospital yesterday and the doctor had nothing to say what was wrong. I'm absolutely miserable and the sight of food makes me want to puke. I'm 6 weeks out and I feel like death. This is the worst thing I've ever done to myself and I would never recommend this surgery to anyone. If this pain doesn't go away soon I don't know what I'll do.

They did a bunch of tests. I physically cannot eat at all. My pain is in my abdomen, and I feel nauseous all the time! I don't have a leak and they checked if it was my gallbladder. I don't know how much longer I can feel like this.. It's unbearable

Hopefully the tests will come back with some answers. You can't carry on like that!

Have you had any post op visits?

This is why I'm afraid to travel anywhere to get surgery for fear that if I have complications my team won't be near.

      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?
