My main problem right now is walking my dog. She is a puppy so is not fully trained not to pull. My friend who has been staying with me is leaving today so then it will be on me. Eek! How long until you were able to bend easily, pick things up, have things pulled on you?

After about 2 weeks I was good. By then I had my staples removed and I wasn't sore.

My first day home I was by myself...and stayed that way during the day for the remainder of the week. My BF had to work...so it was just me and the animals.

I walked the neighborhood the very first day back...to help with gas and prevent blood clots. I had to bend over slowly...but there was not a problem.

      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?
