Update ten days post op. One drain out and one still putting out at least 40-60cc of Fluid. I am feeling stronger as each day goes by. Still not able to eat a lot at any given time. It’s been my mission each day to get in enough calories and Protein to facilitate healing. I think my swelling is pretty well controlled, I am going to tighten my compression garment by one hook as the loosest seems to be getting too loose. It’s been so weird the faint feeling with taking off the garment before my shower. I’ve been also trying hard to make sure I am hydrated so there is less chance of that fainting happening. My pain is pretty well controlled. I really only feel sore, not so much pain, if that makes sense. Still walking hunched over, it’s killing my back. Can’t wait to walk more up right. Here’s some pics from the other day. IMG_4723.JPG IMG_4725.JPG

Hope your recovery is going well and you're healing up! Thank you for sharing! I'm starting to research if I may need plastics but I know I need to give my skin some time to catch up.

If you're comfortable, do you have pictures after weight loss before plastics?

      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?
