VSGnewguy we had surgery the same day. I am wondering if you were released today as well? And also if you have gas pain? How much Water were you able to drink today?

Yes, was released this afternoon. Good pain meds have definitely worn off. Lol.
Have been sipping all day but didn't track. I will start tracking tomorrow. I can say that getting in the fluids is tougher than I expected. How about you?

Yes, getting in the Fluid is very difficult, this morning still causing waves of slight nausea each sip. I am right now just trying to get in the meds that I need, blood thinner and Miralax both dissolved in Water, then need to take Pepcid and will have to wash it down because that flavor is nasty in the chewable. Seems so silly to struggle over a glass of Water when during prep-op I was chugging up to 100oz a day. Last night pain was manageable, I took the provided pain meds, liquid acetaminophen, but it gave me nightmares I could not escape from so I do not want to take it again.

The prescribed meds gave me nightmares also...

No nightmares but the pain meds aren't doing that much for me so I'm trying to get off of them.

      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?
