Just had surgery yesterday...harder than I thought



Recommended Posts

I had surgery (roux on y)on Wed. Very painful, gassy and weak. Any timeline on when I will start feeling better? I don't want any food, swallowing large pills is hard. How are you all doing?



3 days in for me, and tonight I finally felt better. Make sure you are seeing an improvement daily. Every day you should feel a bit better. Once I stopped taking pain meds (reduced them) I felt an improvement Ditto on the food, though. Nothing appeals to me at all. Just look out for increased pain.
*this morning I had dry heaves and was terrified, so pushed a pillow on my stomach. The heating pad and pillow are lifesavers!!

I was the same but at day 4 i woke up and felt a lot better honestly on day three i had a melt down thinking that I’d made the wrong decision I couldn’t take the opti fast shakes i hated the taste so i thought ill drink the Water i need and deal with the food side when i get home. You will feel a lot better when you go home and can make your own food and drink. Chin up you’ll get there

      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?
