Hi Buck,

Sorry to hear about your early problems, so glad you are feeling better. Time does heal most things doesn't it? I live in NJ and if you feel like writing from time to time, I would welcome the support. Have you lost any wt/ yet? I go to the DR's tomorrow.

Good luck!

I still have swelling at the larger incision - actually felt like a rock last week. I called my Dr office and the nurse said it sounded normal (from how I explained it to her).

I too was not having "bm's" - and they said that I needed to drink at least 64 oz of water/fluids daily - and that I should add some benefiber to my mushies. That has helped.

I can drink the 64+ ounces of fluids with no problem - I have always been a HUGE Water drinker. So no problem there for me.

hi there!

My DR said that I don't have any saline in the band and won't till 6 weeks out. Can you fit in the 64 oz of liquid with the rstriction of waiting 30 min before drinking and 1 hr after having the Protein Drinks (they have become almost inpossible to drink now) I am having trouble drinking enough and consequently (well you get the idea)

Please let me know how you are doing and congrats on the surgery.

Sammi

      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?
