Congrats! I had mine done 13 days ago. I feel really good. I am back to work. Down 23lbs!!! You can do this. You will be tired for the next week or too, but you will perk up and do great! Try gas x for the back pain, it works wonders. Or a heating pad to the back works wonders too. Best of luck, keep us posted. Kelli

brownskin82 and hanna130 , welcome to band land it is down hill from here , u guys willbe fine once u get past the gas just keep moving around and the gas x did help me , but i have heard others say it didnt help.

I had my procedure on Oct 8 so it will be a month for me on in a few days I have lost 21 lbs so far and I am weighing 197 so I am happy it isnt much I see others loose way more but I am still happy I am walking and riding a bike for exercise , I am doing good, to all of u good luck on ur new journey!!

Congrats!

We, my daughter and I just had surgery on Oct. 30th. 5 days ago and the abs are barely sore if at all.

We are so excited for a new start on life. I am 45, she is 19. We both tipped the scales at 299lbs. We desperately needed the help!

Wish us all luck!

      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?
