Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Responding to your post about how you can eventually eat more food. Just now on the board so I don't know if anyone answered you or not. My dietician said that your stomach will continue to grow a little while you are healing. The initial size of the stomach will be smaller than what you will end up with in the end. She was not talking about stretching the pouch or anything of that nature. It just tends to grow some and you end up with a little larger pouch that is still very small compared to your stomach. I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hi Amy: Apparently my OD stated that the hooks are attached to the surgical wires. I have no clue what he is talking about. But he did state it takes about 2 hours to put the hooks and wires on. How painful are the hooks? I sure hope not to bad because they will be on for about a month. > > > > > > > > > > I just heard back from my new OS's office and my surgery date > > has > > > > been > > > > > set to June 6th.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 your hooks might be different than mine , mine were put on only for the purpose of after the surgery to be banded shut. the ortho wanted to do it 5 days before but i complained si he put them on the day before and it only took him about 30 min. but good luck to you, it did hurt a bit to have them put on lots of luck georgek042003 wrote: Hi Amy: Apparently my OD stated that the hooks are attached to the surgical wires.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Amy: Thanks Amy!! I am sure I will be okay. I did get a surgery date today which is June 28th. The OS office informed me that they like to have the wires on at least a month before the surgery to have them settle before the surgery. That's the first time I heard that. But anyway, at least I now have a date to look forward to. > > > > > > > > > > > > I just heard back from my new OS's office and my surgery > date > > > has > > > > > been > > > > > > set to June 6th.
