Hi Everyone!

One of the Many things I didn't like about the band was that I never experienced what I would call a "satisfied belly" feel. I would stop when no longer hungry of I'd vomit.

My RNY is two weeks from Mo day and I'm wondering......unlike the band, do you feel full/satisfied as one would feel without the band or what is the sensation like after RNY?

Thanks!

Love love love the bypass!! So upset with myself for being too scared of it the first time around. I can eat more than a typical bypass patient, and could from basically the beginning (I'm five months out), but I get truly full and feel normal. I had horrible reflux with the band, now resolved. Nothing healthy worked with my band, now resolved. I don't have dumping, which in a sense is sad because that would be a good deterrent, but I enjoy it because I don't feel a slave to bypass like I did with the band.

I'm up to 59 pounds, and yesterday was my five-month surgiversary. It'd be more if I were perfect with the diet and exercise (I'm just not). I make better decisions than I used to, but I give myself some wiggle room because I just truly believe life isn't worth living without some treats. I may never wear a single-digit size, but that's okay with me. And how can I complain about 59 pounds in five months?!?!?!
