getting as much as i can and mostly the same amount on days i dont cramp as days i do.

i also think its my most likely cause but thought i would see if others have had similiar exp.

yea tops of my feet mostly. when it hits it sends my flying out of bed. Never had a charlie horse in my feet before surgery but now i cant get around them

Taking Multivitamin? Lack of potassium can cause muscle spasms "charlie horses"? You may want to notify your surgery team, they may want to check bloodwork.

lack of magnesium causes cramps as well, my doc put me on them a few years ago because I was having them at night like you. I'm not a doctor so take what I say with a grain of salt. I would go as soon as you can to have bloodwork done.

      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?
