:) Hi everyone, I made thru the surgery and am home. Surgery went well, I was home by 1:00. My journey to a healthier life has started. WOO HOO!! The pain is not too bad. I'm just glad that it is over.

CONGRATS!!! When I got home from surgery I was like this isn't bad at all...the pain really doesn't get that bad, but it definately is worse on about the 3rd or 4th day when all they numbing stuff is waring off and the anesthesia is out of your system...Good luck and congrats again!!!:)

Congrats! I slept most of the first day! LOL! The good thing is, I never really had pain from the surgery. I had a bad problem with gas. :thumbup: Be sure you're stocked up on Gas X or some other brand.

      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?
