5 days post op and concerned



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I am new to this board and to life with a band. I am 30 years old and a Mother on 1 energetic little boy.

I have a concern though, ever since day one, I feel like something is lodged in my throat. Is this normal. I also have a hard time stomaching much Fluid. I think I am at about 30-40 oz per day and its been quite a struggle to get this far.

Sadly my Doc is gone for the week on vacation and I dont know who is backing him up in the office. My diet consisted up until today of Boost, minimal broth, sugarfree popsicles (since I buy em for my son), and Water. I wasnt aware of the no sugar thing, so that has taken it toll and now I have Diarreah, any suggestions for getting over that? Or is it normal? Eww! I am hitting GNC later today to look for something better. I did try Isopure but yuck that flavor was not for me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. :)

call the office tomorrow, see who's taking your docs calls, tell him/her you can't get 64 oz of Fluid down each day and how you feel.

      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?
