3 years post op



Recommended Posts

This April I will be three years post op. I started at aprox 220lbs. I got to 151lbs. I am now almost 160 and am really struggling. I can't seem to get a good restriction level. My Dr. has a new machine and it showed the liquid bouncing back up in my esophagus so he took a bit of Fluid out... I don't know if I have stretched my pouch or what... I still struggle with eating out of boredom, and making good choices. anyone have similar situations?

Sorry to hear your having a hard time. It's too bad you don't seem to have restriction. Keep working with your doc. on that one. In the mean time you can still get on track with your eating. It may help to add some Snacks in. Try to keep from being too hungry and making healthy choices will be easier. Also, if you haven't already, I would start excersising. Start off slow and gradually increase the duration/frequency. Just walking would be great. I hope this helps. You can do it!

      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?
