A member asked:

Can one who undergoes total gastrectomy eventually go on to eat normal full meals?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: After removal of stomach eating more than small amounts causes so called, "dumping syndrome". It would be prudent to consult a nutritionist as you need to take supplements to ensure proper nutrition. Wish you good health.
