Everyone I am about 4 days post-op and I am just now getting home. Now that I'm home I realize that my support system really isn't that support of of the surgery and what it takes to help me heal. I'm home with my mom (I'm 23) and she makes everything I need sound like chore for her. No one is paying attention to smells them might bother me or even checking on me to make sure I'm okay. I'm pretty much on my own. I just want to feel support.

Sorry they're not as supportive as you'd expected. Hopefully, you may only need your mom for another day or two, if that. So, whether she groans or not, get her to do the laundry and clean the bathroom now! ;)

p.s. If your Mom's not good with empathy, it may not even occur to her that you may be sensitive to smells.

How about vacumning and do up the dishes?

      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?
