Pouch dilation vs bandster hell



Recommended Posts

How quickly does pouch dilation happen?? I don't feel "full" after eating 4oz a lot of the time... sometimes I do. Is this just part of bandster hell or could I have dilated my pouch by drinking too much/too fast? :cursing:

Ash,

I have the same problem. I am 3 months post-op and I still can't tell the difference. It's truly a frustrating situation.

If you haven't achieved restriction yet, I think it's reasonably safe to put concerns about pouch dilation to rest :cursing:

I'm just worried that it's more than just bandster hell... I'm a worrier though! Today was supposed to be my first follow up appointment and the doctor had to cancel because he was in a case that was going bad and had no idea when he would be back to the office. I'm glad that this happened AFTER my surgery though so I didn't have anything extra to think about beforehand. With my bf being a surgeon I know that things can go wrong and you can run into the unexpected but it just makes you think.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
