Oh Janie, I am SO worried about you! I wish I had some words of wisdom for you honey, but I just don't. I deal with my own problem of eating solids, but when it comes to losing your stomach completely that scares the bejezzus outta me! I sorta feel I am with you though just with me working in the medical field.......you ALWAYS try conservative treatment FIRST and exhaust all measures unless it's something you KNOW will not be dealt with unless surgically handled. My question is this......if we have dumping from drinking with our meals because our food goes into the intestines prematurely, then how are they gonna keep you from dumping with your food going straight from your esophagus into your intestines? Where will your food sit to be broken down????? How will you not have a higher chance for bowel obstruction from undigested food? I just think I'd have ALOT of questions about this procedure. What are the pros and cons? What are the risks and benefits of this surgery? I'd wanna know it ALL. I wish I could help you girl!
