Got my first fill today! :)



Recommended Posts

Had my first fill today - there were 2 ccs in my band from surgery and they added 3 more today. She was going to add more but the barium was slow going down so she didn't want to risk it. So, I have 5 total in my band! :thumbup:

They've been pretty happy with my weight loss so far but I hope that this really kick starts it. I've spent the past five days out of town working a show, so I was having to eat out all of the time. I still stayed within my Protein and for the most part calorie limits.

I'd like to know - did you feel much restriction after your first fill? I know most people say it takes 3-4 to hit it. I have been keeping my food intake to about a cup at a time. (Sometimes less) I can tell when I start to get full - I can feel it. She did say that my band is more at an angle (where they stitched it) which is where they wanted it. I have the 10cc Allergan band.

Would love to hear first fill stories.

      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?
