Pouch volume Vs Sleeve which one has more restriction?

    I think a bypass is a bit more restrictive but I don't know for sure.

    i had the RNY 12/18/17. It's not as bad as it sounds. I"m almost 5 months out and I'm doing pretty good. I can eat foods without issue and can definitely eat more that 1 oz. That may be the case right after surgery but it gets better over time as it heals.

And since we have no longer a helpful valve at the end of our food processor, it's rapid transit down the intestine. That's why it's super important we don't eat with our meals, things become a total washout?...........?Frust8 the happy,future Kangaroo
