has this happened to anyone ?

Ok i just went and had a upper GI done ...and they said my pouch is still the size of a golf ball which is good ...But nothing stays in it ...Everything just goes straight to the intenstiens ...And that that opening is super big that is why i am never full or anything like that ....I know a few people on here had some issues but i was not sure if you had this and if you did what did they do? Laura

I want to know what the doctor intends to do about that. let me know when you find out because I NEVER have a full feeling. I just stop eating and try NOT to over eat. I'm afraid something like that is happening to me. PLEASE keep me posted.

I should know something or at least what the next step is on Tuesday so i will let you guys know ...But i always knew something was not right since i never lost all ther weight i should have ...I am just gald to know i am not crazy !!!!! But for about 2 years now i have never been full or i can eat everything in sight and when the doc saw the barium going down i knew nothing was staying in ......but i will keep everyone posted ...I just pray there is soemthing that can be done now and that it is not major surgery Please keep me in your prays and thoughts Laura

I'll be looking for this answer myself!! Sounds like a familiar scenario!! You're gonna be our pioneer gal!! Keep us posted please!

Just a quick questions...were you in Dr. Duncan's office yesterday morning (Thursday) by chance? Kim

yes i was ...Were you cause your pic looked like i saw you before ? Laura

Yes, I was sitting on the other side of the door from you. I had to see them because of a pain I was having. Ended up having an ultrasound on Friday. I didn't hear anything, so hopefully nothing major. I am almost 2 weeks out. Kim

ok i remember you now ...Too bad we did not know each other to begin with LOL we could have chatted some. But i remember you coming inwith pain and all .....I hope you are ok. I know it can be scarry the first few weeks since you are not sure how things feel or what is going on really with ya ..... Laura

Hey Kim.... I have surgery the 28th w/ Dr Duncan and Im wondering....if you have any pointers for things to have ready at home, will I need someone to stay with me at the hospital, etc.... Just trying to get organized.....Congrats to all of you on your surgery you all look GREAT!

Hey! I just made sure I had at least my clear liquids and some full liquids ready for me to go. I had already bought everything that I needed ahead of time. I actually felt up to going to the grocery store the Saturday after my surgery, of course husband carried all the stuff in. I had my mom and husband with me, but at about 8:30p or so, I told them that I really didn't need for them to stay with me. They had a hotel about 5 blocks away. Truthfully, after they had left, it would have been nice to have someone to help me with the IV's and stuff so I could walk around. The day nurses are great, the night ones were a little to be desired. Eunice was great! She was my night nurse. Thanks!! It has been a learning experience and as of right now, 2 weeks out...I have lost 28 lbs and I started working out at the gym today. Walked 1 mile on the treadmill and worked on my arms and legs a little. Didn't do much, don't want to push myself.
