I'm 3 1/2 months out and I eat a lot of soft foods due to my sensitive teeth but I can eat my meals sometimes in less than 15 minutes I have no discomfort when I eat fast.I never over eat I only eat about 8oz a meal or less. Will eating not slow cause my pouch to stretch out?? I try and try to eat slower

my understanding is the sleeve will not actually ever stretch.The stretchable part of the stomach is removed in the VGS I am two months out and a fast eater, I asked my dr and nut and that is what they told me. Eating slows helps us know when we are full and not stuffed, and chewing small bites well, makes digestion easier. I still eat fast too, we are fine. I have reached the stuffed point and had to throw up, not much food either.

Ok I was so worried lol my body will tell me when I'm full by my nose running .I Amway measure my food because I'm so scared of that pain people describe when they over eat and I hate to throw up so I'm doing all I can to avoid it. Only one time I slamed a 20oz Protein shake to fast and that made me feel horrible so I stick to drinking 11oz fast lol

      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?
