Nope, you're not the only one. Took me forever to figure out why mine ran. It's like my nose is crying tears. :lol: Has something to do with the Vagus Nerve.....so I'm told.

Yep, the vagus nerve runs along the top of the stomach. It controls a lot of things like hiccuping and nose running. When you cram your stomach so full of food that the vagus nerve gets irritated, you will get stuff like hiccups or a runny nose. So when you get that, it doesn't mean you are full, it means you over-ate a little bit. Just keep in mind how much you ate of that food and measure out your portion so you are sure to eat less the next time.

That's handy to know. One thing that's happened to me is since surgery I sneeze a lot, at least 5 times a day. Very strange as I have never been like that before. :mellow:

      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?
