Has anyone heard of an Esophagul Stomach?
I had my surgery 11 weeks ago and have worried since week 2 that I don't have that full feeling, I also don't get nauseous, nor have I ever thrown up or even felt like I would. At 4 weeks PO, Surgeon had me have an upper gi, he was looking for a staple line disruption, but it was ok. Now at 11 weeks, I can eat way more food than anyone at my stage (like 3 slices of pizza... or shrimp cocktail, lobster tail and steamed veggies..or 8 shrimp, baked beans, and roasted vegetables...or a chinese dinner(like kung pao chicken).....and, I can eat like I did preop, fast, shoving it in. So now surgeon is going to have me do some more tests, he suspects I might have an esophagul stomach, where my esophagus has stretched and is now acting like my stomach. Has anyone heard of this, or had it? He said it is not real common, but can happen. I have lost weight, so something is working. I normally do not eat like those meals above suggest. I work so hard at sticking to a regimen of 5-6 mini meals a day. The reason I did eat like above, is because of life, I had skipped some of my mini meals and by the time we got to dinner, I was ravenous and wolfed down my food. So, to avoid eating big meals, I do work hard at eating my several mini meals, that keeps the hungries at bay. If anyone knows anything about this, let me know :)
