What to do if i have a vagotomy/antrectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eat small meals: This operation is usually performed for ulcer of the stomach or duodenum. The stomach has been reduced to 60% of normal size, and the 2 vagus nerves were cut in order for you to have less chance to develop stomach ulcers. It is recommended to eat small meal and more ofter, and low fat.
