14 hours after surgery



Recommended Posts

It's finally over!!! 14 hours after the surgery I'm sitting in my hospital room typing this and watching tv. Haven't had any pain, but feel bloated. Meals have been exciting a eighth of a cup of Jello and juice a cup of broth and a Decaf coffee, I was surprised it took so long to drink it all. In short everything is going good and looking forward to a bright future.:P

Congratulations on the successful surgery. Its funny how doctors have their own post surgery menus for us in the hospital. All I had on the first day after surgery was 1/4 cup of ice chips every 4 hours. Rest up the journey is just beginning.

Whoa!!!! Hold up there Bob. You mean to tell me they gave you Jello? ?? I'm SO very envious of your jello. :grouphug: My meal was broth and tea (which I don't care for) and Water. Not that it mattered because my broth was filling enough. Congratulations and all the best to you!

      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?
