I have fibromyalgia..and had the surgery on Nov. 8th 2016..Im going to be honest I've been in fibro pain 3 days ago due to weather..my back is starting to hurt little more..my surgeon told me that the weight loss was going to help but not cure the fibro..I guess it depends on how severe is..Good luck to your friend..

I have fibro myalgia and osteoarthritis and was sleeved Nov 7, 2016. The flare of intense pain that had been going from ankle to calf for 3 months prior to op, has since dissipated to a dull ache when I've been on my feet for a while. I got the sleeve done hoping to make a difference to my symptoms. There is a Facebook page called 'Fibro myalgia Talk' and I remember seeing someone post about their experiences with the sleeve and weight loss.

How are you doing? I have the same conditions I'm in the process for the surgery but my RA and fibromyalgia are killing me.

I had 3 days of fibromyalgia pain as well due to weather change and my mood dropped. I'm not gonna say it's easy. I'm 5 weeks out and it's been tough.

      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?
