After my surgery running 5 hours late I finally got it yesterday. It was a tough night for me but I'm finally feeling better.

I'm only 12 days out, but I can tell you it gets better everyday. By day 8 I felt normal. Have a great journey!

I got my call - 6 AM tomorrow morning checkin at the ER, because admitting isn't even open yet. I can guarantee, my doctor will likely stoll in around 9. They wouldn't say what time the surgery actually begins. Just that I need to be there at 6 a.m.

Congrats on getting through that big hurdle! It definitely gets better every day. By day 4 I could easily meet Fluid and Protein goals and now 7.5 weeks out life is pretty normal other than occasional tiredness but even that gets less and less each day. keep us updated!

I had mine on the 8th too!! No pain meds (including tylenol) as of last night. Feeling really good. I've been cautious about eating and drinking so no nausea yet. I hope everyone else is feeling as good ????

      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?
