Absolutely no restriction...I dont' thinksurgery worked

Posterity

You can argue with us all you want, but that is not going to help you. Looking at your old posts, you had lapband in 2008 and lost a total of 18 pounds. I assume you ate as much as you wanted then too. I don't believe Canada will keep paying for you to have more revisions. I suggest you do what you need to do this time to get to a healthy weight.

OMG, I see now. No advice needed.

Yes, the surgery was unsuccessful.  It didn't even begin to address the real problem. 

Did the lapband fail too?  That would be odd to have two failed surgeries.  Just wondering.......

Look forward to seeing your future posts on your success!  Sounds like you've got a handle on things.  

I'll preface this by saying that I haven't read all the responses on this thread.

Question: What does your surgeon say about this?

I know the standard advice we give is that your pouch is healing, nerves are healing, yadda. But in reality if you can eat a LOT-lot...that's not supposed to be happening. It could be that something isn't working the way it's supposed to. Or it could be that your surgeon personally makes big pouches (true fact: while there are standards in how big/small your pouch can be made surgeon's do have a bit of "wiggle room." Some make pouches larger than others.)

Talk to your surgeon and your nutritionist. They may want to run tests, adjust your diet some or do other interventions to get you to a place where your eating capacity is, in fact, reduced. I think it's good that you are noticing this and that you are railing against it! 

Good morning

I understand exactly what you are saying. I had a revision from the sleeve to the bypass due to severe reflux, and from the day of surgery on I have had no restriction whatsoever. I am so disappointed. I get sick of people talking about measure your food. That's good advice, but I didn't have the surgery to do a diet again. Each person is different. The restriction is what limits the amount I eat whether I measure the food or not. That's how it is for a lot of patients.

I'm seeing my doctor next week. They are talking about doing a scope to see what the problem is. Let me know how you are doing, seeing this was 5 years ago.

Unfortunately, if you want to be successful, you still have to "diet." The folks here who have been successful at 5, 10, or more years out still weigh, measure, and log everything they eat.
