I had my first fill last week - no restriction - so now I am back to dieting again as I too have gained 2 pounds back and would be heartbroken to see the scale go up. I go for another fill in three weeks. Is this what they call bandster H.ll?

lol

I too went last wednesday for my first fill. I can eat more than I should, but am trying to "diet" before my next fill July 7th. They put 5ccs in my 10cc band, but had to take 1cc out because I couldn't even keep Water down. I threw up like five times when they filled me. I hate that he took 1cc out, but am ok with it now. I will just bide my time and go from here. I just ate cottage cheese with sugar free peaches and "love" to hear the sounds made when the food is emptying. I am having a little difficulty with bread though, (I KNOW, not a bad thing...just stay away from it) and am trying to stay away from it! I still have a difficult time wrapping my head around it all. I am only down 21 since surgery and have been fighting the last three lbs up and down. I hate this part, but I got fat over years and am trying to remember that in five weeks 100lbs is not going to melt off of me. :unsure:

      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?
