I was banded on May 27th and have had no problems. Nothing stuck, nothing hurting, no nausea... and i am following the rules carfully and I am amazed it has been working..

I lost about 15 pounds until I got to this soft phase and I am at a stand still.. but they say worry about healing not losing .. this bugs me.. because I am really working at it..( I am blaming my consitpation for no loss recently LOL )

Anyway... My first fill is July 12 and I am wondering if all this good fortune will change? Do you get stuck, have nausea, not be able to eat once this happens? I really love Pasta and have and it (1/3 cup) of Dreamfields that has 7 grms Protein. No problem... I don't want to give it up... I am italian!!

Any thoughts...??? How does it change after fills?

You may find that you don't tolerate some of the foods you did once you have some fills. For your sake- I hope it's not Pasta lol. You will also find you need to eat slower and chew your food really well. Good luck in your journey!

Hi,

I was banded May 4th and just had my first fill of 2.5 cc on June 9th. I feel a bit fuller when eating with no stuckeys so far and I have already tried many things. Pasta is fine for me but may be different for you. i wouldnt worry about it. On August 9th I go formy first xray(fluroscopy) guided fill and after that I think that will make a huge difference>

Good Luck!!

      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.
