4 days post op and running to the RR



Recommended Posts

I am sorry to post this, I know it is not a pleasant topic.

Ever since I took the Magnesium citrate the day before surgery. All of my movements have been thin like Water. I realize I've been on a liquid diet and for the first couple of days figured it's because of that but have been a bit worried as it continues. Is this normal after surgery and being on liquids?

That happened to me for the first few days, but as I began upping my Protein Shakes to 2 per day (or as close to that as I can get...i usually end up with 1.5) I am now back to regular. I am now 9 days out if that helps...

That was an issue for my first week post op. Second week was much better so I am glad I had two weeks off for this. I go back to work tomorrow and feel like I am functioning fine.

      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?
