Frequently asked questions
Obstruction of the Stomach Outlet
Do you see the size of your pinky finger? Well, that is about the size of the outlet post surgery. You need to learn how to chew everything you swallow to be smaller than that. You do not have acid in the pouch, so if you swallow anything that is smaller, it is going to get stuck.
Nutrition
It has been stated that bariatric surgery can cause one to have chronic nutritional problems
Protein Deficiency
You can develop protein deficiency. This doesn’t sound so great, does it?
