I don't have a problem with it, but I think everyone is different.

I haven't been told to stay away from it. I still eat salad and have lettuce on sandwiches.

I have only tried romaine and iceberg and haven't had any problems with either.

Over the last 16 months I went through stages where I could eat shredded lettuce and long periods of time when I would always get stuck. Right know I can.

In 18 months not one problem with lettuce. For me it's a slider (with dressing, of course). My doc never mentioned it either. But, as it's been said ... we are all different.

Good luck.

I can eat pounds of lettuce without a problem. I really like salads and I dip in the dressing instead of pouring it on top, so I usually don't use more than a tablespoon and luckily lettuce is so low calorie you can eat 4 cups and not make much a of dent in your daily calorie intake.

I have problems eating lettuce. For some reason it will always get stuck. I think everyone is different. I try to eat more veggies now.

I have to be honest, I was banded two weeks ago and I can eat pretty much anything just a lot lot less (I chew it a lot too). I had a small salad for lunch today and it was fine!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
