Fullness sleeve vs. roux en y



Recommended Posts

Guest

I do not feel nearly as full as I thought I would, even with soft or non-liquid foods.

That said, I'm reading quite a bit that sleeve patients seem to have the "full" sensation more than roux en y patients.

Jealous. I've found the way to combat this is to measure my food, because I don't have that solid "full" feeling even with the chewing, Water restrictions, and slow eating. I assume this is because it's getting pushed out quickly.

Legit? Do you sleeve patients find you feel fuller, quicker, in comparison to bypass patients?

I've had both a sleeve and now a bypass. I am struggling with not overeating because there is no full feeling with my RNY. With my sleeve it was very clear when I should stop eating, but not with RNY. I am back to measuring portions.

I had the sleeve 9 years ago and now have to have the bypass due to GERD, hiatal hernia, esophogitis, and Cameron lesions. I have weight that I gained and need to lose and now I’m worried about not feeling full after the bypass.

I think it's probably an individual thing. I didn't feel "full" at first, but I did once I started eating solid foods. I would always recommend measuring what you're supposed to eat and only eating that regardless, because sometimes full signals are different post-surgery and it takes awhile to recognize them, and also by the time some of us feel "full", we've overdone it.

I agree with catwoman7....i believe it’s based on each individual person...I didn’t have fullness until I started solid foods...I’m only 3 months post op RNY but I can eat 3-4 bites and feel full....the full feeling goes away pretty quickly....But that’s why eating high Protein meals 4-5 times a day is important.

When was your surgery?

I had the sleeve. It took time to figure out my sensation of full. I don't think my experience was much different than any other types of surgery. I still have times of hunger and cravings. I had to find ways to manage them and lose weight.

Thanks for all your responses. I had surgery on July 28th, so almost a month. I'm doing fairly well (knock on wood) at this point, but I do find measuring works better for me than relying on my body.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
