I had the gastric sleeve Monday (1/29) and I really feel ok, my major issue after the surgery is I got my period and I haven't had my period in 3 years due to my birth control and now I can not tell if my bloating is from that or from my actual stomach that just got proved and prodded. I also can not hold any Protein down, I can drink Water but protein has been a problem. Any suggestions?

Same here-I got mine the next morning at the hospital. The nurses said it was totally normal. Hang in there! The bloating is probably the swelling from surgery. Mine took a while to go down but once it did, the odd lumps and bumps post surgery in my stomach went away as well. Try sipping Bone Broth. I bought all this Protein power before surgery and I couldn’t stomach any of t post. Only thing that didn’t turn my stomach was chicken bone broth. It’ll get better!

      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?
