Band to bypass disappointment.....



Recommended Posts

I just came from my nutritionist, she said my pouch was probably made too big, maybe....she wants me to call the Dr in the morning, she sd that I can eat way too much, this early on, with no restriction at all so far, Warning ! for revision surgery ask your dr to make pouch smaller if possible, I may revise my pouch... Not sure yet, will talk to dr and ask about the possibities....

My doc made me wait 6 months between band removal and bypass cuz he said if he'd done it when he did the band removal he would have had to have made a bigger pouch. Ack!!! Fingers crossed its just a flue and all is okay!!!

Marla I had the same band to bypass all in one and spent three nights in hosp. I am 5 weeks out and I can't eat more than 3 oz of food. They need to go in and look at your pouch with a scope.

Have you heard of anyone, who had a pouch that was way too big after revision?

No I have not. did they scope you to see if that is true? I do know that each surgeon has a different technique they use for RNY which allows more or less malabsorption to occur.

      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! 😞
