You have experienced both. Do you feel a difference?

I also feel much less restriction, and that is part of my worry.

IMHO don't chase restriction or fullness. Please set up systems like an exercise routine & sustainable healthy diet (well within your Surgeon's caloric/macro limits) and live it. If you can't do it long term it probably won't work for you.

I have an excercise routine the same one ive been doing the last 3 years, Ive been following a diet for the last 3 years, so obviously I can, but thanks. My comment was about feeling different and how that might affect me. Thanks for your help.

I understand.

I was suggesting that mentally its going to be challenging (but not impossible)since you already experience the shift from greater to lesser restriction & now that the training wheels of restriction is gone, you may have to move forward to another form of structure to continue being successful

very best luck to you ❤

Guess measuring and weighing food will be my guide with the revision if I lose this restriction I have.

Christina,

I am in the exact same position. I literally had to get a sedative from my doctor yesterday because I too am so afraid. I just want my hiatel hernia and reflux fixed. I’ve successfully lost 40 lbs (75 to go) on my own...but I have to do this for the same reasons as you. Please reach out to me as we can benefit from one another I think. Good luck

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
