Had my surgery, but very sore.

Yeah then that's not okay. They should be documenting the correct thing in the computer system I hope.

Take your meds, walk walk walk, and drink fluids. Brace your tummy with a pillow while walking if you have to, it really helps! Definitely brace when you go from sitting to standing or when you cough!

Yeah, the hospital wasn't giving me my meds as often as they should have. They didn't even come in to make sure I was walking. It was a shitty hospital. Good thing my surgeon is fantastic. The only pain meds that helped me is Dilaudid. The liquid Norco barely touches the pain. I can't wait till I'm done with this liquid diet. I'm so sick of eating broth and Jello. I miss my Protein shakes and Tomato Soup. >_<;
I am so sorry to hear that. Everyone deserves that great care when they have such a life changing surgery. If it were me, I would report this hospital floor to the hospital administration. Again I am so sorry about that.

A lot of the pain that you are experiencing is because you body doesn't know what to do because things are no longer the way it was before and you were cut on and parts cut out. In time the pain begins to ease and movement becomes easier

      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?
