Fill tomorrow - question



Recommended Posts

I have my first fill tomorrow and I remember my physician saying about being on liquids again - the thing is that my appointment is at 4:30 - should I be on liquids starting tomorrow morning? Or just afterwards?

The doctor always has me stop eating 1 hour before - and then on liquids for 24 hours after - then mushies the next day, then re-introduce solids the day after that....

My doctor doesn't place any pre-fill restriction on my food intake; after fills, I have to do liquids for 1-3 days and mushies 1-3 days. It depends upon which of the post-care docs/PAs I see :thumbup:

I thought it was "the day of the fill" because, I swear, the literature they gave me said that. So, I made sure I had ONLY liquids the entire day, and had my fill at 2pm. The doctor says to me, "Okay, so you're on liquids now for 24 hours." I said, "Seriously?! I've been on liquids since dinner last night!" To think I could have had an omelet for breakfast...lol.

I ate normally before my first fill, which was in the morning. My doctor told me to have fluids for lunch, then thicker fluids for dinner, and start normal food the next morning.

I guess if he hasn't told you to change your diet beforehand, you don't need to. While there, he'll tell you what to do next. "Cause we've all been told slightly different, I'd just go with what your doctor tells you.

My Dr. said no food on fill day, just liquids. Then 24 hours Clear Liquids, 3 days full liquid, 3 days mushies and then whatever as tolerated.

      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.
