Always worried about something



Recommended Posts

Today's concern is stretching my sleeve.

How does one stretch their sleeve? Would you know if it's stretched?

I'm eating 4-6 oz meals as per my nut but panic thinking it's too much

Anyone?

Don't graze, stick to your plan, no carbonation, no straws. You are all set! I don't know how we know our band is stretched other than being able to eat a lot more food.

Supposedly the part of the stomach they leave isn't stretchy. I think it gets a little bigger with time, but I don't think it's easy to stretch it out.

I too worry all the time about stretching my sleeve. I am only 2 weeks out and I am following the program exactly like I am supposed to but, I find myself gulping Water. Will that stretch it out?

      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?
