Oh really? By how long??
Are you on the pre op diet? I'm on day 5 today, feeling positive!
The surgery itself is terrifying me, I can deal with pain but it's the unknown of what I'll feel like afterwards that is scaring me! Plus I've never had a general anaesthetic before so I'm terrified I won't wake up! [emoji27]

I'm okay with the unknown because I'm so excited... But I want to be done already!!! We're looking for dates after October 15th and I'm annoyed.... Not on pre op yet. Go you!

My pre op isn't as bad as some I've read about! I'm actually allowed solid foods [emoji3]...currently I'm 210lbs, hoping to lose some on pre op. In the US is it an over night stay in hospital too?

Congrats! I am scheduled for my first fill this Monday. So far I have lost 12 lbs. The surgery itself for me was not bad at all! Post op I'd say it took me a full to days to feel like "myself" again.

      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?
