At 2 months your swelling should be down decently and you probably don't need to sip. Like if you needed to sip you would sip, because it would hurt.

People heal at different rates and have different pain tolerance levels.

I drink normally at 2 years post-op and I have been drinking normally since about year 1. I can guzzle Water with the best of them.

As long as you are drinking water and not calories, it doesn't matter.

I'm about 6 weeks out of surgery and I don't sip either. I can't guzzle a bottle of Water, but I can drink it pretty normally without taking sips. Sometimes if I drink too fast I feel it and know I need to wait a while. I think you'd know if you were drinking too fast.

I've been not sipping since about 5 days out. Everyone is different (: just consider yourself lucky. Some people can still barely drink at two months!

      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?
