Hello everyone, thanks for all the well wishes. I am home. 2 days post op and I am feeling pretty good. Yesterday was a really good day, today not as good, because I think I overdid it yesterday because I was feeling so good. I was blessed that I passed gas very easily so no gas pains. Still passing it and thats okay with me. Feel bad for my family though. LOL. I have very little pain from my incisions, just more when getting up and down from the bed and I can lay on my sides easily.

I actually had a scare right after surgery, I stayed in recovery for like 3 hours because my oxgen levels were too low but that passed and I was in my room by 3:00ish or so that afternoon. I actually did get to go home after being told during pre-op I had to stay overnight. It was great being in my own bed.

Doing okay with the liquids so far, I go to school online so I keep busy doing homework and reading novels and watching TV. I am blessed to be off work for at least 2 weeks, possibly three depending on my dr. First fill scheduled at 6 weeks out.

      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.
