I went for my first fill. Well let me start with ..... I weighed 215 when I first started , I was band on 11-12-09 weighing 200 at that time. Today I weighed 192 .....man it's been years sense I had see below 200. Well back to the fill , it wasn't that bad.I had 2cc in the band and they added 2cc today. I feel good. I have to do liquids for 2 days then 1 day soft, then reg. food. My doctortold me if I think I need another fill befor the time come , then just call and they will do another fill. He said I was the only one that would know if the band was working. ......It has been 5 weeks and I can't wait to see how I do the next 4 weeks!! I was proud and had to let everyone on here know how I did.

Good for you! I had my fourth fill today. I have 7.5ccs in my band but still not feeling any restriction. I was told not to worry about it. I might feel some in a day or two. Right now I am working on my own will-power.

That's awesome! So glad to hear of the great progress you've already made! Congrats on being in onederland too (I am right at 192 myself and I haven't seen that in about 8 years LOL)! Hoping my fill on Jan 14 gives me a new sense of hope! I hope yours helps you!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
