Had Gastric Bypass Surgery on 9/11/14



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone My name is Casey, I have been on my weight loss journey since April 72014. I lost 100 lbs before my surgery. I had my surgery at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center in Baltimore Md. My surgeon is Dr. Christopher You. I am on day 9 and everything is getting better. I had a couple times where I could not believe I did it and got a little depressed. I sometimes feel like I am never going to be able to eat normal foods again instead of liquids. One of my favorite places to eat is Chipotle, and I like the rice there. Has anyone tried to eat chipotle rice after surgery?

You guys are funny with your Chipotle talk.

I am sure you will be able to eat some of it someday but not for a while. I can just imagine when you get to that time and you order a burrito, look at the size and burst out laughing because it will look enormous. I hope I can be the fly on the wall when you do it.

I'm four weeks post-op with RNY, and technically on the soft foods phase. I went to Chipotle for a burrito bowl. The rice was difficult to eat and I regret having it. It was on the "foods to avoid" list from my nut, so my bad. I'm going to wait for another month before attempting Chipotle again.

      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?
