My five year old son says I burp like a pirate now...I think he's proud of me! And ya know, there's just not really any way to stop 'em, I've tried!

OMG, I have my first fill tomorrow! Crap---it's the size of an ice pick? Did you feel how deep, really? Holy crap I'm starting to freak LOL

How do you feel now?

Don't worry about the fill, most people don't hardly feel it. It's a little pinch then you feel a little pressure and the fill itself which is odd but not painful. I don't like needles or pain and I've hardly ever felt anything and never had them numb it. :thumbup:

I too was terrified of my first fill and after the Dr cleaned the area and came at me with the needle I put my hand over "the" spot and and said

"wait... Wait... I'm not ready!"

and he looked at me all frustrated and said,

"why did you do that? Now I have to steralize it again.. It doesn't hurt, I've already done 25 fills today and had no complaints!"

then he made me put my hands behind my head... LOL... He doesn't numb the site, and I'm glad of that... One needle is plenty just "get er done!"... Turns out there was more pain in my mind then in reality... I am actually looking forward to going back for my second fill on the 26th...

I haven't experienced any burping yet... But my Grandsons will be pleased if I ever do! Boys love that kind of stuff. Haha...

      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?
