Fullness? What kind of Fullness?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

Thanks for reading my thread! I'm thinking of getting the surgery but I still have some questions.

I've read that the lap-band surgery creates a "fullness" feeling. I was wondering what does this mean? Do you guys feel full like all the time? Is it a fullness like after you've had a huge Thanksgiving dinner? Or it's more of a not hungry feeling? Do you feel it all the time or just after you've eaten? Do you find it's reduced your snacking? I have a big problem of eating when I'm bored, does anyone have or had that???

Thanks soooooooo much!

:tongue2:)

If you follow the rules you eat until you are satisfied not until you are uncomfortable which takes practice. Not only is that not-so-fun to feel bloated and stuffed but eating too much all the time can stretch your pouch. Once you have a meal you should not feel hungry again to your next meal.

It has reduced my snacking but the Lap Band will not stop you from eating between meals or when you are bored. It will not take away cravings for certain foods. That part has to be resolved by you.

      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?
