Band to sleeve having prob w/ soft foods



Recommended Posts

I had band to sleeve. 1/4/18. I was doing fine on liquids. Now it’s soft foods & I always feel I’m full, but hungry. I know that makes no sense. The full feels like it goes all the way up to my throat. All I’ve had are smoothies, cottage cheese, Protein Drinks. Just frustrating! Anyone else feel this?

I was sleeved on 1/03/18 and I had that same feeling when I was moved to soft foods. I found that I wasn't chewing enough and the food I thought were soft actually weren't soft enough for me to advance too. Once I started chewing my food as much as possible and waiting a few minutes until the next bite,that feeling wasn't as bad. It's still a new feeling and I haven't mastered the feeling of full yet at first one extra bite I thought would be ok would send me into that uncomfortable full.

      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?
