My surgery took 6 hours. Lots of complications with the hernias. I ended up with a collapsed lung and surgical emphysema (crackling skin chest neck face).

Had a chest tube to allow space for my lung to reinflate, it worked. Had a rough first few days. Made it work.
Lots of swelling and almost a week post op.
One day at a time. It is improving. Tylenol is my friend.

So glad you are okay girl..
I had a hernia repair when I had my sleeve surgery too and it will have to be done again too.??
Did they say why your lung would collapse or did you have problems with the sleeve surgery as well??
Speedy recovery.

      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?
