I had surgery 5 days ago, healing well and have had no issues drinking my liquid diet or getting my Water down. I just discovered if I eat to large a portion of Soup to fast I will feel sick to my stomach and have chest pains. I think this was possible a dumping episode, I ended up lying down for an hour and feel much better now. Lesson learned, small amounts and slow the hell down.

Yikes, this has been a worry for me, I’ve always been a fast eater!

That is one of the biggest adjustments we all have to learn post op. It is really surprising just how slow you really do need to eat in order to not overeat and make yourself sick.

Wait til you get to solids. Small bites and slow! Glad you’re feeling better

I'm almost 3 weeks post-op and still struggling with eating too fast. It's a hard habit to break!

      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?
