OMg I am so happy to of found you guys! I was sleeved on the 9th and I also had a hernia repair! Drinking is a huge task! I can drink 8oz of Water then usually an ounce or 2 of broth! A popsicle and maybe a sip of some crystal lite! Pain meds and nausea meds er every 4 to 5 hours. I am wearing the binder and walking but I don’t think I I’ll get in close to what they want! My week follow up is the 17th! I am thirsty but it hurts so bad!

Hey Jody! I was able to have two “movements” today which gave me a bit of relief. But back to gas cramps every time I take a swallow. And the chicken broth I got is so gross!!! But I’m still pushing through. I walked a total of 8,223 steps (3.56 mi). I feel like today is a little better then yesterday. Just hope it continues to get better every day. My first post op appointment is on the 18th

      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?
