Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Did anyone see Carnie on Rosie O'Donnell today? She said she had the RNY and there's no long term side effects from the surgery. She said she can eat whatever she wants, just that she eats smaller portions. If she eats too much, she feels a little uncomfortable for about 45 mins. She also said she can eat about 3 bites of a Krispy Kreme. Interesting... ===== Dee Waiting for Ins. Co.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 She says this because she is paid to say it by Dr. Wittgrove. I have it on VERY good authority that she is scared to death of regaining and wishes she had known about DS before she had her surgery. Chris > Did anyone see Carnie on Rosie O'Donnell today?

However, the tube can elongate can't it, which means weight gain. >> I don't think the elongation of the common channel automatically results in weight gain -- Actually, it is what STOPS the weight loss and causes one to MAINTAIN close to an ideal weight (more or less). I suppose if someone's body compensates by elongation of the common channel or increase in receptor cells (this is another possibility and results in increased absorption) AND one eats a lot or perhaps the 'wrong foods' (lots and lots of carbs or sugars without abandon), one could regain some weight. Common Channel elongation is desirable in the long run: It's what keeps the post-op DS from losing too much weight and provides stabilization at about 12 months-18 months post-op. Now, there are those who require a revision to shorten their common channels but this is a relatively rare statistic (as is losing too much weight and requiring a longer common channel). The symptoms of having too long of a common channel are insufficient initial weight loss, though - not late weight regain so it is a problem that is usually addressed or monitored within the first year post-op. all the best, lap ds with gallbladder removal January 25, 2001 Dr. Gagner/Mt. Sinai/NYC almost 9 months post-op and still feelin' fabu! preop: 307 lbs/bmi 45 now: 213 lbs ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
