Hey there guys. Had the surgery yesterday at about 8AM and according to my wife I was in a great amount of pain. By the time I slept a bit and woke up later in the afternoon I felt pretty good. Was up walking laps by 6PM. Felt better every hour and was discharged at 1PM today. I have the On-Q pump so that helps a bunch I think.

Now just to follow the doctors orders and stick to my diet and beat this thing and use the "tool" for what it is.

Thanks for all your well wishes.

I to am getting surgery tomorrow. It feels surreal. Had a year to wait and got more anxious with each month. Now that it is here, I am happy and scar d to death. Any advice for the hospital stay and post op?

I'm almost one week post op. I was scared too but it really wasn't too bad. I still have a little soreness but for the most part feeling great and my blood sugar levels are the lowest they've been in years!

One week in and I am feeling pretty good. I have had my rough moments with the family eating some of my favorite foods but I know I can't eat it and if I could I would hate myself anyway after. This has been a somewhat emotional roller coaster but I am loving the ride. Shirts are fitting better than they have in ages and I am looking forward to next Monday for my 2 week post-op visit. Can't wait to see the progress I have made numbers wise. I know I feel it in my body. Full liquids can be rough but I can see puréed right around the corner and solids is next. Right now I am just craving
Good healthy Proteins. I want salmon and chicken so bad. Does anyone know how bad steak is on our new tummies? I am badly wanting a fillet mignon. Anyway I feel like I am rambling. I hope everyone is doing fantastic. This new life is a gift.

      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?
