NEWBIE ROLL CALL!

It seems like we have a whole slew of people who are either fresh from surgery or about to have surgery. So I’d like to do a newbie roll call! For the purposes of this pool, I’d say three months post-op and under would be a newbie. If you are over three months out and you post here, chances are we know you pretty well (I hope).

OH?:  From Surgeon

I usually just read and learn, I haven't posted in a bit.  I love the information!!

My name is Derek, I am 27 years old and I had my surgery on April 16th.  So far I have had 2 strictures and I have lost about 75 pounds.  I'm having another endoscopy this week and hopefully my eating will be much improved.  While I'm glad I had the surgery, I did not expect to have some of the problems I have had post op.  My hunger returned after 1 week, and it seems like it's twice as bad as before.  I also noticed that I feel hungry all the time, even if I have just eaten.  I'm not sure why that is, but it is definately surprising.  I realize that it is a process, and everything will get better in time.  Best of luck to all of you as pursue your weight loss goals.

Hi Derek!  I had to have 2 endoscopies for a stricture.  I know what you're going through.  The good news is that it does get better!  I'm able to now eat according to my eating plan.  It gets better!  Fortunately, my hunger has not returned.  Just like you though, I didn't expect any of the problems I've had.  There were times where I've asked myself "why did I do this?".  I hear that's pretty normal. 

I think it's fantastic that you've lost 75lbs already!  Are you working out?  I hope and pray that everything gets better for you!!

Take care,
Angie
