I was banded the day before you, but I can honestly say that the only time I thought, "What have I done..." was when they wheeled me into the OR.

You got a ride into the OR?! My clinic makes its patients walk their butts in and hop on the table themselves. I don't know if it's laziness on their part or letting you have that last chance to dash out the door (although your behind will be hanging out of the gown, which is never a flattering look) :thumbup:

...and I'm sure I speak for everyone by saying that we are very happy that we were able to help!

Sooo glad you're feeling a little better, too. One more thing...my doctor said it's ok to lay on your stomach, and I have been....I think that's been helping to work some of the gas out, which again, is the primary cause of most of our pain.

Continue to rest up and feel better! :thumbup:

Hang in there ! It gets better. but to answer your question...what have I done?........You have just kick started the rest of your life! The decision to have WLS is one of the hardest, but in the long run the best decision you could have made for yourself!!

Good luck, and once you are over the first hurdle, the jumps get easier! The potions don't get bigger for a while but it does get easier. lol

I feel your pain. I was banded the same day as you and I have too asked myself what the hell have I done?! Im on Clear Liquids only until Tuesday but today I did cheat.. I had Soup. I have been feeling so weak I felt like I NEEDED it. and it did make me feel so much better. I only took about 4 small small bites of it. It scared me though..I mean nothing happend but I started thinking.. My dr told me to do this diet until Tues for a reason.. so I wont do it again until then. We can ALL get through this. Hell I got through the 2 weeks before my surgery, I can make these next few weeks. Just take it day by day.. this is the start of the rest of our lives!!!!

      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?
