I will have my vsg surgery on dec the 11th. I’m nervous but also excited for this new journey in my life. I was wondering...... Was any of you guys recommended to buy a post op surgical compression garment?

How exciting for all of you! I had my surgery 12/30/16 and my life has changed for the better in so many amazing ways. I was right where you all are a year ago so I just wanted to pop in and offer my support and congrats.

Good luck to everyone this month! I was sleeved Nov. 29th, but I feel like I belong with you Decembers, if that is okay!

I'm 6 days post-op. Threw up all meds and everything but Water until day 4. Now I easily tolerate Protein Shakes and meds: I use Isopure zero carb with plain water. I hate Protein water and Jello so far, and beginning to hate popcicles!

I still can't tell when/if I'm hungry, full, have acid reflux, or what is going on in this belly of mine! Also, of all 4 incisions, the one near my belly button is the worst for pain!!

My head craves food so bad, right now i want a slice of cheese and bread! These pass and change all day, but are obviously easy to ignore since my stomach feels like it was hit by a car.

That's me so far in a nutshell! I look forward to meeting you all, and hearing about your progress as well!!♥️MM

      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?
