Hey guys,

dont let the gas pains worry you too much. (some people dont even get them.) its day 2 and I am feeling much better.. last night was a little rough.. but do-able.. just walk walk walk.. even if you dont feel like it.. do it.. I got up and walked through my house every half hour in the evening.. while I walked I used the little spirometer for breathing they give you.. and I put a station of hot liquid (like tea or just hot water) and every time I passed I took a sip.. susposed to be good for the gas. and then last night I ended up sleeping in my chair propped up and then every 2 hours got up and walked and sipped hot water.. and today I have some gas discomfort in my chest.. and my incisions are more sore than yesterday. but its much better.. so when they say walk.. force yourself! its only been 24 hours and I am still sore and in pain but not like yesterday. (oh and I took chewable gas pills and some liquid stuff too)

keep me posted on how you do!

      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?
