Getting a bit more aggressive here



Recommended Posts

Well I'm only a week past my last fill but I only had restriction for a few hours. Despite that I've managed to keep motivated and stop eating even when I wasn't full and have managed to lose another 4 pounds. However, I was worried that by the time I got to next week, I would've gained it all back as it became more difficult to 'step away from the plate'.

So I called to see if they could slide me in for another fill and I went in this morning for another .5cc. I'm now at 8.5cc and am hoping 'this is the one'. The one that is permanent and not just due to swelling. Even if it is only permanent, at least I'm sitting solidly at 229 and know I won't be yo-yoing upward again because I have restriction again.

Oh, I did ask how they were able to squeeze me in so quickly and the receptionist said this is pretty typical this time of year. Apparently, people start thinking of all the goodies they're going to miss out on at their Super Bowl parties and they cancel their fills. :)

      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.
