Ok so... I’ve been doing so well post-op. Minimal pain, barely any nausea, keeping down fluids, going on walks. I think I might of overdid though bc after my walk I bent over to light a candle and felt a sharp pain by one of my incisions. I thought I would look down and see it’s bleeding but it’s not. I shouldn’t panic right? Just take it easy and stop trying to do so much?

Is it hot? Is it red? Is it still painful hours later? If the answers are no, you're probably fine, maybe just pulled an internal stitch. If the answer to any of those is yes, see if there is someone on-call for your surgeon's office. When was your surgery?

I also had occasional pain by my incisions. It turned out to be nothing, I just took it easy for the rest of the day.

However..I agree with the response above too. Call your team if you are concerned.

      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.
