Me too but never put two and two together. I'm learning so much even though I'm out 7 months.

Nope that is your body telling you to stop eating.....It is a signal for you...Even before you had surgery your body gave you signals that you ate enough but we ignored them because of our relationship with food....

Some people take a deep breath. Others fold their arms. Some say no I'll let this settle before I eat more.....

After you start sneezing, or have a runny nose...Put your fork down and listen to your sleeve. i wait a few minutes to see how the food is feeling in there. Sometimes I eat more and sometimes I push the plate away.....I have the same signals...A lot of us do!

My nose ran also for about a year after surgery (never a problem before surgery, and stopped about a year after). I am now three years out. Interesting what RJ posted about it being a "stop eating" signal. I never connected the runny nose as being a signal, but sadly it's no longer a signal for me 'cuz it doesn't happen any more. But one body signal that has been consistant and continues to be is hiccups. If I have consumed more than my sleeve wants, I know it is time to stop if I get hiccups.

its because the vagus nerve at the top of the stomach is irritated. this leads to runny nose, sneezing and/or hiccuping.

      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?
