2 mos post op and was wondering?



Recommended Posts

How would you know if you stretched your stomach back to it's original size? Like what would be the symptoms? I'm curious because I am 2 months post op and I am eating like I'm a year post op. I am getting in good portions with no issue and even though I am continuing to lose weight very slowly, I have this worried feeling that I might have stretched my stomach some. I feel fine so I guess I am just curious. Thanks in advance.

You can stretch it out but it will NEVER be the size it once was~ This came directly from the Dr. Cirangle with is attributed to developing the vertical sleeve and it's improvements. Also, I have been unable to actual find medical literature to prove that this does exist.

In my blog I actually have a video that shows both a new sleeve and a sleeve that is a few years old. You can see that it is bigger but it is nowhere near the size that it used to be.

How much are you eating and what are you eating? Some foods definitely go down easier than dense Proteins.< /p>

Your stomach can't stretch to a hugely significant degree because the fundus (the really stretchy part of your stomach) is mostly removed in a normal sleeve. As it heals and "matures" your stomach may get to a capacity of 1-1.5 cups, but your previous capacity was something like 5-6 cups, with much more stretch available to cram in extra.

If you are eating slider foods you can eat a lot more, though, because those don't linger in your stomach.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
