How long before eating gets better?
BridgetteG replied to Lainey H's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on 10/10/17 and I can eat anything I want. My situation is a little different because I developed a rare bacterial abscess between my stomach and heart, and when they found it (10 days postop) it was the size of my fist. Long story short, 5 surgeries in 42 days, no food, shakes, etc. I was on IVs; so my stomach was left alone to just heal. I think thats why I havent had problems with eating anyrhing.

I went to Mexico Bariatric Hospital to have a Gastric Sleeve after a lapband 20 years ago, they put me under, went in, and did nothing!!! This was in October 2015. They lied and said it was done. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Gosh, I hope she's better. Mine was never stapled, actally nothing done to my stomach the opening was banded. Everything would get stuck until you threw it up. Id live on cream sauces and ice cream, because they would go thru. You couldnt eat anything healrhy and the stomach itself was the same size, so you were definitely hungry.

Mine was called a vertical band and it was done 15 years ago. It has been awful. All I did was puke or eat unhealthy foods like ice cream. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Also, on 10/10 when I had the gastric bypass it was done robotic and it was all done in about 4 hours. Nothing was taken out ahead of time. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I never had a port, Im not sure what that is. I had the band many, many years ago. Back before it was laparoscopic. I just had a gastric bypass done on 10/10 and the difference is that food doesnt get stuck and you puke for days. If you've had the band you know what that feels like, I didnt have the sleeve, how would I know what that felt like? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
