Just start experimenting with softer solid foods at first to find out how you react. Wait before trying dry foods or just take it slow.

My operation was pretty easy, back at work two days after, a little pulling at the long incision if twisting just right, no problem working or sleeping or driving. I have been driving after the second day.

Operation on March 31, started pureed food April 10 and solid food April 17. The doc suggested shortening the liquid and pureed periods, since I have been feeling so good, maybe not good but great.

It was solid food before I could recognize the band talking to me and I am still learning to understand its language. It is not the same as a full stomach previously.

I lost 15# on the 10 day preop and have lost 17# in the 26 days since, so I guess that is adequate. It is 3 weeks to my next appointment and he says that he will adjust the band if I am not losing weight.

Maybe the novelty has not work off yet but a serious adjustment will be required after the novelty does wear off.

      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?
