Should I get fill #3 before I go?



Recommended Posts

Hello All

I had fill #2 on Thursday. I went from 5ccs to 6.5 ccs. I have noticed a difference in that I have to eat smaller bites and chew more, or I get a pain, or a couple of hiccups. I can still eat quite a bit of food though...more than I should be eating. I am not getting the satiety, or dimming of appetite

feeling. I can have my next fill on Thursday of this week. I am leaving Thursday evening for Canada. I will be up there until Monday evening. My question is: should I get a fill before I go to Canada or when I come back?

I want to get to the "green" zone soon, but I don't want to do something foolish and leave me looking for an unfill when in Canada. Oh wise people, lend me your expertise.

I think you'd probably be fine with a fill before you go, but just in case, I'd wait. Its only a few days.

I would wait!!!!! You really don't want to have to search for a dr up there to have some taken out. I've heard those horror 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.
