I'm home recovering. Didn't sleep well at all. Feeling nausea and pain. Following the diet but it's hard. Have zero appetite and the gas pain stinks. Sip sip walk walk is hard to do. When will I start to feel normal again

Be patient. Takes at least a few weeks to feel human again. Nobody said this was a walk in the park.

Speaking of walking, try to a little. It really helps make you feel better and speeds up healing.

I feel 50% normal today after sleeping hard last night. Propping up extra pillows helped me get good sleep-pain Syrup I'm sure helped that too.

Walking around the property feels good, fresh air and helped with the gas.

Can you have someone massage your shoulders and chest to help release gas?

Did your doc recommend Ginger for nausea? I'm using dissolving children's ginger tabs and they help a lot.

Hang in there... we're in this for the long run

      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?
