Recommended Posts

Im getting ready to start my walking. This is more painful than I expected, please reassure me that this is normal. When I swallow gatorade 2 or Water it burns like I have an ulcer. Ugh!

I also had my surgery on the 15th, I'm home now and trying to walk as much as possible. I splint my stomach with a small pillow while I'm walking and that helps with the pain.

All normal!!! Tiny sips burnt like HELL.

Gas pain was AGONY.

I was tearfull & full of regret.

Day 11 post op & I feel completely recovered!! Eating three small liquid meals & drinking plenty.

Take it easy on yourself you will recover beautifully if you give yourself no expectations other than to rest up & take things steady.

      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?
