Hi Sherrie, I'm being banded on 1 November and plan to work from home from Mon to Wed next week then at the office after that. if I don't feel up to it, I will work at home for the rest of the week then go to the office the week after. Of course if I feel really bad, I will have a few days off first. From what I've read here, it varies. Good luck with your surgery... I hope we are 2 of the lucky ones with no problems! :)

I am getting banded on Thurs. Nov. 1. I wish I could take more time, but I am out of vacation, so I plan on taking Thurs. & Fri, I have to work 1/2 day on Sat. Then I get Sun. & Mon. off, so if I can just get thru Sat. I should be ok. At least Sat. is pretty light, I just sit at a computer, so I won't have to be moving around much.

      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?
