3 days post op Gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

Hi. I had sleeve surgery. From what I know and experienced, pain in the ribs and body after surgery is usually due to CO2 in the body after surgery and is gone by walking and moving around.

Also, be careful not to drink too much and too fast.

Hi. I'm 11days post op. I had the gastric sleeve. From my little experience, the first few days after surgery are the hardest as you'll find it difficult to swallow. The good news is that it gets better by the day. Hang in there and best of luck.

Hi I'm on day 3 post surgery. Have been trying to increase my Fluid intake slowly. Had some clear Soup and a small amount of a Protein shake. Both times really bad pain in my left ribs is this because I'm drinking too much too fast? Both time pain really bad but then subsides?

      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?
