Question:
Do you feel differently
I was wondering....after the procedure do your insides feel differently or do you really even notice... Other than the fact that you feel full faster and in a different place? — Dawn E. (posted on June 13, 2002)

That's a really good question! After I completely healed, I didn't (and
still don't) feel different at all. I don't know about anyone else, but I
really do feel perfectly normal.

Like the previous poster, once I healed I didn't feel anything at all, but
until the healing and swelling ceased, it felt like I was just EXTREMELY
bloated. Immediately following surgery I didn't feel any different on the
inside, I only felt the incision.

to be honest, and not to scare anyone, but i do feel different. I am 2
weeks post-op. The minute I got home, i felt my stomach was all twisted and
turned around, it felt weird. it still feels odd inside, but a bit better,
i trust it will go away in time. it doesn't really hurt anymore. I know it
will go away, but i am very happy with my decision, and no matter how much
discomfort or bloating or gas i have, it doesn't matter, I wouldn't take it
back. I lost 25 pounds in 13 days already! :)

I had lap rny a little over a year ago. I do sometimes feel different on
the inside--sometimes when I turn over in bed I feel a kind of
"thump" like something is moving. I seem to be more conscious of
gas moving through my intestines, too, again a kind of popping as a gas
bubble moves from one place to another. Nothing gross or drastic--just a
little different.

Once I healed, I have never felt any differently, and I am now 18 months
post-op.

I guess its different for everyone. Mine never felt different, even
immediately post-op. There was no pain, no funny feeling, nothing.

You do feel different early on, especially the place where your new tummy
is, which is much higher than the old one. The full feeling is different
too than before surgery. But other than that, no difference felt at all.

I am almost 4 months out, it felt really different at first. I still can't
sit a lot it hurts the new tummy I have to get up and walk around, which is
good.I have a lot of tummy girgling and rolling. Also it feels very
different when I need to have a bm, don't know why on that one. It's hard
to explain it but I sometimes don't know that's what I need to do. I am
getting use to it now and just go to the bathroom and all is well again.

I think it depends on what kind of surgery you have. I had lap rny 5 weeks
ago and most of the time I forget about the surgery all together. I am
eating everything I want I just get stuffed really fast.

I have noticed something weird. First thing in the morning if i drink
something really cold i could always feel it hit the bottom of my stomach.
Now the bottom of my stomach is in a different place. This is not an
uncomfortable or bothersome feeling. Its actually kinda funny.

Hi...I had LAP almost 10 months ago, and most of the time, it doesn't feel
any different, but sometimes, when I drink something, I can feel it move
from the pouch into the Roux limb of the small intestines...it doesn't
hurt, it just feels really weird...almost like a "kerplunk"!
LOL...
