Hi guys,
I had a band fitted in 2010 and it needs removing :cry: It’s been a long and painful road.
I am considering having a bypass conversion – however am absolutely terrified of having the same problems as before.
I have so many questions whirling in my head constantly.
Please can I have some help……………………………………………
1. Are there different types of bypass – RYN etc? If so which one is the best?
2. What is dumping? What courses this and how often should I expect to suffer from it?
3. I have read some people cannot eat months after their op? Why and how on earth do you have the energy and strength to get up each day?
4. People seem to say they struggle to even drink water. That sounds worrying! Will my liquid intake be reduced?
5. One of my biggest problems is constant, uncontrollable hunger – will this go away?
6. What will happen with my bowels? Will I need to take something to help me?
7. What tablets will I need to take? Vitamins etc?
8. Gas/bloating seems to be a problem – is this a constant on going thing?
9. Pain when eating? Is this a common thing?
10. Nausea and vomiting seems to also be a big thing – why is this and what can you to stop it? I would imagine having had a bypass being sick is painful and not good for your body at all.
Think that is enough for now lol. Sorry for so many questions. Any help and advice would be fantastic and hopefully stop my mind whirring so much.
Thank you
Bex
