Exercise and Water Question



Recommended Posts

I like to walk with my dogs for about an hour a day. How will that work post-op with Water? Do I have to bring a bottle with me a drink the entire time? Or can I wait until I get home?

You can go an hour without drinking Water.

I recommend bringing a small bottle of Water just in case.

I think it is always nice to have in the event you get thirsty, however if you don't like carrying something when you walk you should be ok without for a short time. Just be sure you are properly hydrated before you leave and replenish when you get home.

I walk every day for at least an hour, and I definitely could not do it without my water bottle. It goes with me everywhere. I cannot gulp - still have to sip and take just a few swallows at a time. So every thousand steps or so, I stop for a few seconds and fill my mouth with Water (6 sips per mouthful!) and continue small swallows for the next minute.

      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?
