Anyone travel & had the surgery by themselves?

I've actually thought about this since yesterday, I wasn't on pain meds till after I got home. I walked in to the pharmacy & got my pain meds myself. The husband drove me home, I could have (of course the hospital says you have to have someone drive you home but it was an 80 year old volunteeer that saw me off--what was he going to do if I walked to the drivers side) I had no nausea, and although I was in pain starting that morning (I had to spend the night per my insurance company) and going until I got home & got that Vicodin in me, it wasn't so bad.

I don't know you from Adam but you can do this!

Good Luck dear

Update: NO NAUSEA. The anastesiologist was a wonderful lady and actually getting my wisdom teeth pulled was worse. I was nervous before but as you can see my surgery at 9:40 am today and now its 1pm. No gas pain no nausea. Just a little sore around the port area.

That's great news! Just don't overdo it - right now you probably are still are feeling some subconscious effects of the anesthesia that's making you feel good. I felt amazing on Day 1, it was as if I didn't have surgery at all but just did a million situps. Day 2 hit me like a ton of breaks. I mean overall it still wasn't bad, but compared to day 1 it was a big difference.

      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?
