Help Me Please, I Am Freaking Out About My Conversion I Had Done



Recommended Posts

Hello! I had a sleeve done in April and 4 months out if became kinked and then just on this past Monday 6 days ago i was converted to a Bypass. When I had the sleeve done i could only sip little tiny bit of even Water and it would hurt. It took forever to progress to more liquid and food. Since day one out of my surgery when they would let me drink I was able to drink normal just like I was prior to the surgery, Also i am able to get the pureed food down no issue at all and I NEVER have a full feeling. I dont know if the bypass full is the same and the sleeve full but either way I dont feel full.

Dont get me wrong I dont keep eating but it is rather disturbing that I dont feel anything at all when I eat. It kind of concerns me. Is the food just slipping on through?

I was hoping that someone maybe has experienced this before? I am really anxious about it and am reaching out for help from all of you all.

Thanks.

You guys need to give your pouch time to heal. The nerve endings are all messed up.. You will start feeling the full feeling in 3-4 weeks. In the mean time only eat what the dr wants you to because you dont want to mess things up

I watch all my shows on Hula, Netflix or my iPad apps....there are commercials but none of the "bad"foods commercials.....I do this because one of the things that would trigger me to eat per RNY were the commercials...I don't have cravings yet but I don't want to take a chance so this is what I do...also my husband is very supportive and has started eating healthy too!

My husband is trying to be supportive but he can only eat what we already have. Were newly errs still trying to get on our feet an as everyone knows its expensive to eat healthy so i give him some credit for choices he makes. The next time we go grocery shopping tho ill be able to actually eat so ill be buying things so he will have no choice lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.ย  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.ย  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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? Itโ€™s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so Iโ€™m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight.ย It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey โค๏ธย Together, we got this!
