I am one week post-op today, and mine aren't giving me any more issues. In fact, they told me to take off the strips today and I went to the tanning bed. I just have 2 little cut-looking marks on my chest and 1 on the inside of my belly button.

Just be careful guys. I didn't have a whole lot of pain either after the first few days and then I did too much and felt like I pulled an internal stitch out and it hurt for two days. I am three weeks out today and I was feeling good and just did too much. So even if they aren't bothering you, you should take it easy.

Mine started to itch badly about 2 1/2 weeks post-op. It went away after about a week.

I am 12 days out and one of mine is killer painful the last few days. I'm hoping that goes away soon!

Is that the incision where they removed the stomach? I know my surgeon said that's the one that hurts more than any of them.

I think anyone having extreme pain say 7-10 days post op your incisions shouldn't bother you that much, however if you get the leaking syndrome that could cause a lot of pain. Maybe just get checked out

      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?
