Hello! Just had surgery and a lot of questions



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

My name is Marlene. I just had surgery last week on Wednesday. I can't eat, I get full fast and I can't seem to get more than 30 ounces of liquid. I have a lot of gas and it hurts. Is that normal. This week has been real hard. I feel tired. If anyone can give me suggestions or have ideas why I feel this way. I would really appreciate it. Have a great week.:tongue2:

yes, you have to walk, walk, walk for the gas. I also tried gas x, that really helped out alot too. Make sure you are taking you Vitamins and your Protein for the energy. Also the tiredness is from the left over drugs that they pumped you with, lololo, that will go away. I had my surgery on the 1st and I feel a whole lot better that those 2 weeks out. I am ready to start exercising! I can tell you that the gas is no joke, and once that is gone, you will feel like a whole new woman, i promise you that! take care

      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?
