I was up and walking within hours of getting to my hospital room. I was sent home the day after surgery, and was walking quite a bit form that day forward. My surgery was on Tuesday, and I was doing laundry that Sunday. I went back to work 8 days post op, and have been fine.

I was up walking about 4 hours after getting to my room. Hospital stay was 2 days. Stayed on the couch downstairs for a little less than a week because our bedroom is upstairs and didn't want to climb the stairs. Within a week I was cleaning the house and work related items seeing how I work from home.

very simular to all others. walking within a few hours of waking up. hospital for two days and back to work in 7. had a desk job. I will add that I was pretty tired for about 3 weeks and only went to work and did the min around the house after work. got in plenty of Protein drinks and Jello broths etc so no cooking was needed thank goodness. walked the hallway at work during lunch and in the morning break time so I could get in my exercise. sure did not feel like it after working 8 hours. was a little tender for a few weeks but no pain.

      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?
