Re: Thank you all for your help. One more question please..

[Guest guest]

as everybody keeps saying it's head hunger , we think we should eat more i time

and hopefully a short time that will go away, some people will have a problem

because they were munching while they watched TV or while reading a book , i

haven't had the surgery yet it will be Aug18-o4 lap... but my grandmother had

the surgery when i was 12 yrs old ( i am 56 NOW) but it was for ulcers and

that is the surgery that has brought us this weight loose one they found people

lost weight after the surgery so they ran with it. all i can tell you is my

grand mother never seemed to have any problems , she would eat about 5 small

meals a day , maybe toast a banana evening she would make a sandwich or a small

piece of meat , and she use to make pies also and it did not bother her, she was

healthy and she was a very small women after the surgery before she was a large

women. i never heard her complain about being hungry or anything else. it was a

much tougher surgery then , very serous thing , they

were were she might not make it , but she did and she lived a long life. i

know many people who have had this surgery and they are all doing fine , we

survive and will be thin and healthy

Thank you Shirley, I guess I never quite thought about it that way. I suppose as

long as your full it doesn't matter how much you can take in or not. I was

concerned mostly with feeling hungry all of the time. How many times a day can

you eat?

why would you bother with the surgery , it sounds like you are more concerned

with being able to eat alot still , the amount of food we eat and the kinds are

what got us in this trouble in the first place. you are suppost to eat until you

feel full not anymore and if all you can hold is 2 thu 6 ozes then that it and

take vitamins to help , our food lack vitamins anyway . i am more concerned

about getting rid of this weight and being healthy and keeping it off than

whether i can eat 5 slices of pizza or alot of steak and potatoes , i will be

able to eat a little and enjoy life alot that is my goal. there is a lap band

surgery that the band is adjustable go for that , some insurance so do not

cover it because it is not that good at getting the weight off and keeping it

off ,the bands can deteriorate in time , it just has it's problems , look it up

on your computer , stapling is basically gastric bye pass surgery , there are

several different surgery types, just look up bareatric

surgery and somewhere you should come up with all the different types.

good luck shirley

Is there any other surgery besides gastric bypass that works? I have heard of

stomach stapling before??? Is there anyway they can make the stomach a bit

bigger to fit more food than 2 or 6 onces? Thanks.
