Hi everyone. I had my modified duodenal switch (SIPS) with Dr. Mitchell Roslin at Lenox Hill on Monday. Pretty routine except bad nausea reaction to the anesthesia which led to vomiting (NOT fun after stomach surgery let me tell you!) I'm back at home now but still in a bit of pain - it's changed from being mostly trapped air to general achiness and stabbing if I move too quickly or adjust positions. Trying to walk as much as possible (made easier by the fact that I have a young retriever mix named Moses who loves his walks!) Having some trouble eating/drinking my liquids (sticking to broths, sugar free popsicles, and Atkins protein shakes.) Basically no appetite and eating feels like a burden, plus it can be painful. Trying to take my pills is even worse. Also having some leakage on/around the incision at my belly button. Mostly clear, maybe a bit blood tinged but no redness in the area and no smell. Just annoying. I live alone - lots of friends nearby and parents not too far away by train, but really glad this forum exists , would love some support to help get me through this rough patch!
