I had to go tothe surgeon yesterday for a Fluid check to see if the band was leaking, which it is not thank god!!

He added 1c to bring me to 5- last night and today i am drinking just fluids but they are going down very slow -- i have to wait a good 10-15 min between every 2 sips or so... no vomiting, no nausea -- just wondering if this is normal to feel? cant imagine anything solid or even mushy at this point.

Try drinking a bit of hot tea to open it up a little. It tends to be tight in the mornings and especially since you just got a fill. :sifone:

As long as you are keeping fluids down I think it is safe to wait through the weekend to see if it is stoma swelling from the fill vs being slightly over filled. If at any point you go more than a few hours unable to drink at all please call your doc.

Best wishes,

      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.
