Went in for Roux en y, but was given an Omega Loop Gastric Bypass

Hi, 4 days post op. Surgeon was unable to do the Roux en y as I hadn't lost enough preop? I lost 8 kg (17 llbs) and never cheated even the slightest. Says this is just as good, though higher chance of reflux, less of bowel twisting. Anyone else experience this?

Thanks for sharing this - I'm only 6 days post-op, and wondering why I'm not getting that stuffed feeling from full liquids like sfree pudding or cream of wheat. No issues getting plenty of fluids in. Have been worried that something didn't take with my surgery! ;)

Hi Tina! I feel the same way! I had RNY 11 weeks tomorrow, and I have only felt restricted once! I jokingly asked the surgeon if he actually did the surgery. (Later realized how offensive that was!) Anyhow, it's nice to hear that someone else has this experience.
