Duodenal Switch questions

Hello,

I'm scheduled for duodenal switch surgery on January 13th and would love to hear from anyone who has gone through it. I'm curious about your experiences--how was the surgery for you, any important tips to know before or after, how did you manage the pain, and did you feel any unusual sensations afterward? I had my first appointment two months ago and have lost 38 pounds by my second appointment, so I feel like I'm on the right track. Honestly, I'm a bit nervous about the surgery itself. I've had two surgeries in the past, but I don't really remember them. It's not the surgery that worries me as much as the idea of being put under anesthesia; I know it sounds strange, but it's been on my mind.

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated!
