Four days after the surgery and I find myself every now and then bursting into a sweat. I don't have a fever and there's nothing going on at the incision. Normal? Weird?

I too sweat very easily, but I figured it might be b/c I am not really getting in as much Fluid as I should be.....just my thought.......

I get sweaty if I am nausous...maybe your nausous...if your taking anti-nausous meds then you might not feel nausous...

Diaphoresis (fancy-schmancy medical term for sweating) is very, VERY common post-op. Anesthesia does bizarre things to our regulatory processes, including our "thermostats."

It should go away with a bit of time.

Oh yes. I sweat like a pig normally but after surgery I thought I was gonna roast to death in the hospital room. I turned the thermostat down as far as it would go and opened the window in January and I was still dying.

      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?
