Things that happen after gastric bypass
melbell2222 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The first thing is don't eat to much it will get stuck in the esophagus ( puke that baby out ) hurts like the devil Skin is very itchy, it does go away but I still have flare ups food gets annoyingly gross after eating it for a few days Weight gets stuck on a number more then you like it to be After going months without a period you lose enough weight it comes back full throttle The body part you want to get smaller doesn't, it's always the awkward places first ( I'm a potato with toothpick legs ) Clothes you use to wear can start to fit but there is always a bulge of fat there so guess you will try another day You can see between the steering wheel and your belly So many changes its nothing bad, ok maybe the monthly visitors, I could have gone my life without them back but least I know at the end of the day my choice of choosing bypass was the best thing I have done for myself :) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
