I posted this on my profile page, too:

Everything went GREAT! I will try to blog it tomorrow, but for now I just want to take my next pain pill and anti-nausea medicine then hit the sack!

I was tickled to death that the surgeon complimented my husband on the condition of my liver. He said it was obvious I worked hard on my pre-op diet because he had no issues with it at all!

Yay, me! :(

Now I have to admit I'm in the post-op "pain and agony," though based on previous surgeries I've had, this one really isn't too bad. I'm waiting till I can take my next set of pain and anti-nause pills and then I'm going to bed for a long, long sleep!

As said elsewhere, most of the anxiety is in the anticipation. The last thing I remember was them fumbling with my arms to set them on those table extensions, then all of a sudden someone was nudging me saying, "It's Over! You done good!"

LOL. :)

Oh, one thing I need to remember is (to paraphrase Dory from "Finding Nemo) to keep on walking, just keep walking. . .

      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?
