Hey, I am glad to hear that you are doing so well. Unfortunately I am not doing so well. I have developed the flu on top of all of the pain from the surgery. Coughing is the worst part. I ended up having to stay an extra day in the hospital because I was running such a high fever and my heart rate was almost doubled. It seems like every little move I make just hurts so bad. I think if i weren't for having the flu, I probably would be doing better. I did have 5 incisions, the one in my belly botton and the one where my port are hurt the worst. Is anyone else having a hard time getting a lot of fluids in? I am sipping away, but just not getting too much in.

I am doing pretty good so far. Today I went out grocery shopping with my mom for about 2 hours and feel fine. I am having a hard time getting all of my liquids in tho. I am really trying but it seems like I can only get about 30 oz. in each day. Today I'm having some tea and I bought some Kelloggs Protein Water, so hopefully that helps. I was feeling down during the grocery shopping, thinking about all of the foods I cant eat and how long it will be until I can. Being back at home with other things to do helps keep my mind off of that. Im happy to hear that we are all doing ok and as time goes on, we will feel great.

      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?
