too much of their stomach removed

shelly22

NO (direct answer to your question ;) )

how are you feeling - how is your weight loss going these past couple of months???

I had 85% of my big tummy removed

thats the "standard" amount that most people have removed

i have heard comments/complaints from OP who think their doc didn't take out enough tummy

never the other way around

you think doc took too much tummy out???

is that what you think happened to you???

I kindof doubt he took too much out :(

i was wrong ONCE though, i thought i had made a mistake!!! :lol: :lol:

good luck

Hey proudgrammy I'm doing great. I asked the question because someone in another wls group I am in said she had to get scoped today and the doctor told her the surgeon removed too much of her stomach. I have not heard of that situation before either so I thought I would post it here and see if this has happened to anyone else.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
