I made it! Overnight was a little rough, nausea being the main issue. I anticipated that, it's common for me after anesthesia. I wasnt able to start drinking yesterday due to nausea but have been doing well with it today. The most pain by far is from my umbilical hernia which ended up being very involved. But now i have a cute new belly button!

Should be headed home this afternoon. Let the real work begin!

Congratulations! It does get easier as each day passes. Less discomfort and more energy. Has the nausea passed yet?

Glad you now have a cute little navel, kinda weird celebrating such a thing but it is important to you so therefore of interest to,me too. I told you I bet that one was going to pain the most! But you're better, not feeling so rocky and I'm glad for that! I usually don't have that much anesthesia nausea but I am getting older and it might hit me harder. If it does I'm in good company,aren't I? Its been years since i had that much intubation, but I'll get through it, you did after all. It's odd, but each story makes me feel closer, like I'm part of a big society of something. I belong! I just got to go through my initation and I'm 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?
