That's so normal. You'll be fine. Do something to take your mind off of surgery. Get that anti nausea meds and you'll do great. I think I was so geeked and ready, that I didn't have time to be nervous. I remember they carted me off to the surgery room, had me move over to another table and then put a mask on my face and told me to take 3 deep breaths and I only remember the 1st. Next thing I knew they were waking me up after surgery. I really didn't feel pain until later that evening and even then I was so on top of the pain meds that it wasn't that bad. Good luck.

I am better today. It took me all these days though to just feel ok. It was a hard recovery. I tried to go out yesterday but had motion sickness. Today I was able to go to Shaws which was a big deal..I was wiped out when I got back.

I have lost 17lbs since the 20th of December so I am happy about that. This week has helped b/c I've lost almost a pound every day. Most likely due to not eating much. I'm trying.

I just made some egg custard to eat later. I'm so happy to be able to eat a little something. I sometimes feel sick just b/c of not being able to eat.

How are you feeling?

      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?
