It's really not so bad, I was surprised that I was not in the least bit scared. They give you good drugs as soon as you are in the OR and when you wake up it's all over. Take the pain drugs they offer you, and get up and walk as soon as possible. You'll be tired and sore for a week or so, one thing they don't tell you about is the big pinch in your side where the sew your port to your abdominal muscles. But it all goes away after a while. Good luck tomorrow, you won't regret this decision!

Praying all goes great for you. I was banded yesterday. Take the drugs they give you. I wasn't and was in a lot of pain. Now I am taking it like the bottle says and feeling much better. ALSO - buy some Gas X thin strips that melt on your tongue. The pain I have is bad gas and it's really helping.

Can't wait to hear how yours went!!!

      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?
