Re: [sch_gastric_bypass_support] Need a new primary care doctor

Hi,
I have seen a doctor to have this done but I do still have many questions.  Why can you only eat such a small amount?  Do you always get sick after eating?  I know that a small amount is all that you will be able to eat but does it ever get better?  I want to hear all of the Pros and Cons of this before I get started on any kind of preparations. 
Any advise and or information would greatly be helpful. I will be going to a doctor in the Tidewater Surgical Group. 
 
Thanks,
Patty
