Mini gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I'm 3weeks post op and I'm finding it hard.. I feel like I'm not eating enough. I only eat two yogurts per day. I ate a sausage roll and now my family think I've stretch my stomach and now I'm way to scared to eat now. I don't get any aftercare..

Are you getting your Protein shakes in? What stage are you in (pureed or soft foods)? You did not stretch your stomach, don't worry! Just make sure you are measuring when you eat, that way you won't over do it. The most important things are getting in your Water and your Protein.

Mini Gastric Bypass is a totally different operation than Gastric Bypass and the requirements (meal volume and permissible food types) are different. Perhaps Gemmabee89 you might detail the requirements laid out by your surgeon or nutricianist. Do you have restrictions on the amount of food you can eat per meal? I do not believe you are stretching your stomach. The best advise is to follow the guidelines of your physician.

      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?
