Jennifer K.!!...I have a question...

Hey Jennifer! I noticed we both had Dr. M as our surgeon albeit months apart and had a question.  Did you ever ask Dr. M how big a pouch he typically makes or how much intestine he bypasses?  I swear I thought I had asked every question imaginable but somehow didn't ask him about that!!  I was just wondering since I'm about 4 weeks out and able to eat about 1/2 cup of food /sitting.  Luckily though, I'm able to get enough food (600-800 calories/day) to not have to rely on protein shakes for my main protein source.  Thanks for any guidance you can offer!  My next appointment with Dr. M won't be until February. 

DrM does proximal procedures.... he bypasses only around 80. As for pouch size - not sure about that one :-) I think he told me its about the size of a thumb... Since you are 4 weeks out I am assuming you are still on soft foods... you may notice when you move to more 'normal' eating that you may not be able to eat as much in one sitting :-) Just make sure you keep measuring!

Thanks!!
