Band to bypass disappointment.....

[Marla 35]

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.
