Got my sleeve done yesterday and the past two days have been so painful. I’m so nauseous I’m dry heaving, shaking, I’m in excruciating pain. Any advice?

1st thing is I hope you feel better soon and I'm sure you will eventually. Make sure you're taking your nausea and pain medications. Just try to relax and take it easy. Try putting a cool rag on your forehead. If it gets to bad, call your physician.

It gets better. Try to stay calm. Are you still in the hospital? You'll feel like a new person by the time you're discharged.

I'm 2 weeks post op. I was in a TON of pain as well. I read so much about people having hardly any pain so I was optimistic. I even read one person say it doesn't even feel like they had surgery. I literally yelled at my screen, "Well good for you!!". Lol. It just hits some people harder than others I guess. It will get better in a few days. I'm still in pain, but nothing like I was those 1st few days. I hope you feel better soon. Until then, don't try to be a hero. Stay up on your pain meds and don't push yourself. There are no awards for unnecessarily suffering!! I wish you the best.

Gosh Megg C I sure hope you are feeling and doing better. Hospitals can be nice when you're sick but they are never as nice as home, hope you're going home soon! But please keep us updated on how you're doing.

      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?
