Everything went ok. Struggling to get liquids down a little and very gassy once that goes away i think I will be ok.

Congrats! Glad everything went swell. I have my op tomorrow 10/20 and seem to be rather calm. I know tomorrow though will be a new way of life from here on out.

Keep us posted please!

Thanks,

Dan from Houston, TX

I've been able to get liquids down,but not full liquids. Yogurt sat like a lump in my throat. Now I'm waiting for discharge until after lunch tray to see if it's better

I hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

I'm currently in the waiting room room waiting to be called for my operation. Not nervous but definitely got many things on the mind.

That's great! Did you try the Gas X strips? They REALLY helped me. I know some people say that they can't help because the OR gas is different than gas from digestion, but my doctor said they would help and they did. It makes sense because they want you to burp and fart after surgery to get rid of it, lol. I only had bad gas pain briefly and I used 4 in a row and it was gone within like 30 mins. Walking definitely helped as well.

The liquids are tough at first, I didn't meet my minimum until day 3. If you're still in the hospital and getting IV hydration then I wouldn't worry too much.

      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?
