laural44 reacted to Nic C in Jan 2019 bypass buddies
Hello everyone, I had my RNY on 1/23/2019 and am down about 48 lbs. Most days I'm doing pretty well, but then I'll have days where I just want a real taco or a glass of wine and I'll start feeling down. Luckily, those days are few. Except wanting a taco. I want a taco daily lol.

Hi Mimi! Also January 29th. In Michigan. I don’t have that pain under my incisions. I’m not even sure what it might be? I had revision from band to bypass.
Did you find out what the pain was and has it gotten better?

ELcee,
Same here. 14 years with a lap band. Had it removed because of complications and wasn't working. At the same time, did a gastric bypass. 4 weeks post-op now (17 lbs lost), and loving the gastric bypass. NEVER hungry. Ever. With the lapband, I was. I do experience occasional vomiting, like the lapband, and I believe that it's because I'm just getting adjusted to my limitations and eating patterns.
I encourage you to have the bypass. I'm glad I did.

I have been banded for 9 years and am looking at revising to RNY. I am keen to hear how different eating is with the RNY to with a band ( not in the initial post op period)
My surgeon has advised me that it is very different to having a band and that I should be able to eat a good variety of healthy foods easier than I can currently.
The issues with eating with a band IMO are :-
It can be very difficult to eat healthy foods
Sometimes the band says no and it doesn't matter how hungry you are you just can't eat.
Having to regurgitate half your meal because 1 bite went down wrong
Never feeling satisfied the way one would expect but instead you have that awful feeling of discomfort in your throat/chest
Because the more solid Proteins are so difficult to eat a person either consciously or subconsciously starts eating softer foods, these act as sliders and are not satisfying.
So what is eating after an RNY like?
