I had the Ivor Lewis procedure January 2024. I had my six monthly check up last week and my weight had dropped a little.

There was only the doctor at the appt. He asked questions and checked me over .

Yesterday I had a call from a dietician I was out at the time so couldn't stay on very long. She sounded concerned about my weight and to be honest has frightened me. I have phoned this morning and waiting on someone to call me back

This has set me back a bit as I thought I was doing ok. The doctor didnt seem concerned

Hi,

I had my Ivor Lewis just after you in February 2024. My weight is generally pretty stable now and only a few pounds below my pre-diagnosis weight but it can fluctuate a bit so I guess it depends on what you mean by “a little” drop in weight. If you’re otherwise feeling okay then a small drop in weight shouldn’t be too much of a cause for concern but, if you are worried about it, you should certainly speak to your medical team about it - if only to put your mind at rest

Hi sorry to hear about your weight don't worry to much and didn't your team warn you about how much weight you could lose .

I had a full stomach removal in August 23 I was a big lad at 125kg I went down to 87 .4 kg but now back up to 96.5 kg . Your body will just to your eating habits eat around 6 small meals or snacks a day .

I am sure your team will be in touch and help you out

Stay strong

Stay safe
