How did I not realize this before?

I always get ravenous right before bedtime. Binge eating ravenous.... It is my worst time of the day by far. I've been thinking a lot about what got me to this place, bad habits, motivations, addictions, etc. Trying to get my head straight before the surgery. I suddenly thought, I wonder if its my meds. When I had my upper endoscopy the subject came up of the time I take it vs the time I should be taking it. I take a bunch of meds for a variety of health issues. Nine to be exact. I take them all at the same time 7:30pm. So I looked up the side effects of all my meds and put them in a list. Turns out about half of them cause hunger. Say whaaat!! The other half cause sleepiness. Woohoo. So I split them up yesterday and lo and behold I wasn't ravenous right before bedtime and I slept like a baby. :D

Oh, that is FANTASTIC! I don’t take meds but get ‘head hunger’ from time to time, and I hate it! I am stoked you found such a simple, pragmatic solution!

      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?
