Band to bypass disappointment.....



Recommended Posts

I just came from my nutritionist, she said my pouch was probably made too big, maybe....she wants me to call the Dr in the morning, she sd that I can eat way too much, this early on, with no restriction at all so far, Warning ! for revision surgery ask your dr to make pouch smaller if possible, I may revise my pouch... Not sure yet, will talk to dr and ask about the possibities....

My doc made me wait 6 months between band removal and bypass cuz he said if he'd done it when he did the band removal he would have had to have made a bigger pouch. Ack!!! Fingers crossed its just a flue and all is okay!!!

Marla I had the same band to bypass all in one and spent three nights in hosp. I am 5 weeks out and I can't eat more than 3 oz of food. They need to go in and look at your pouch with a scope.

Have you heard of anyone, who had a pouch that was way too big after revision?

No I have not. did they scope you to see if that is true? I do know that each surgeon has a different technique they use for RNY which allows more or less malabsorption to occur.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
