Eating at work



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I just had my lapband fitted in June.

I have not yet had a fill, I am having on this friday.

At work, I seem to have a problem to being able to eat my lunch in the half hour I'm allocated.

Most of the time it's because I'm not hungry yet, and also I find it hard to eating anything fast, or it gets stuck and makes me feel uncomfortable.

I have started to nibble my lunch spread over the day at my desk, and most of the time I get away with it.

My supervisor is sympathetic with me, but he said that he will need a doctors note to allow me to do this.

Has anyone else had a problem like this, and would I get a note from my GP or from the surgeon in belgium?

I'm confused :confused:

Thanks in advance!!

I am sure that a note from your GP will suffice.

No, I haven't encountered a problem like that. I work in a much more relaxed atmosphere....thank gawd!....I'm nibbling on something 3-4x a day!

I nibble my meals too. Probably it would be easy to get a note from your doctor that said you've had restrictive surgery that requires you to eat less and more slowly.

      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?
