What in the world? Do I have 2 stomachs?!



Recommended Posts

So, I've graduated to soft-foods. Has anyone had the sense of eating, being full, and simultaneously feeling hunger pangs (not head hunger, actual hunger pangs?) It feels like I have a pouch which is working, and then a stomach below it, which is whining and raising holy hell at the same time. What's this about? Geesh.

Could be reflux, it sometimes mimics hunger.

I remember my disconnected stomach rumbling and squirting. Has settled down now.

I've found my too full pains often mimic my hunger pains.

I thought I was the only one that felt this way. I can literally eat, feel full but then under/below/behind that feeling is the sense that I am still hungry and growling/pain sensations. I usually just try to ignore it except when I first wake up because then it is unbearable.

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that. I thought maybe it was just me. I have an appointment with my surgeon on Friday and will try to remember to ask him about it then. if I learn anything I can share, I will.

This. It's weird though this feeling for me will be there one day but then it won't be the next.

      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?
