Hunger or Something Else?



Recommended Posts

* whoops just realized I posted this in preop.

I was banded on Oct 12 (down 15 lbs so far) and I am having a difficult time figuring out what is hunger and what is discomfort from the band and the procedure. I can only describe my stomach as feeling like I have a constant state of indigestion. Eating does not make the feeling go away. Am I suppossed to be timing my eating or just waiting until I am hungry? I haven't been truly hungry since the morning of my procedure and I'm inclined to just not injest any thing. Thoughts on this?

BTW - How do I add a weight tracker?

That is a good question. I was banded 10/21 and I have no desire to eat. But I am really bloated from gas.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
