Hello I am 3 days post sleeve and I a not handling liquids well. Ga is building up ad I'm so sorry. Any suggestions on a easier way to deal with the healing process?

So sorry you are feeling this way! Are you having nausea? I had nausea real bad. Also at first you may not handle the liquids as well because everything is still swollen and it just needs time to heal. Small sips my friend and nausea meds, and for the gas, for me I took 2 chewable Gas-X tabs along with a bit of walking; that really helped me. The first week can be a bit rough but it starts to get much much better by week 2; for me days 3 and 4 being the worst. That being said, I did still suffer a bit of nausea and gas pain the second week, just knew how to handle it better. I realized that I needed to take my Vitamin only after I had Soup or something in my stomach; I had given up trying to get the Vitamins down for that 1st week. Hang in there and know you may not get your Fluid goal met right at first, just do the best you can. Hugs

      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.
