Is there such a thing as people incapable of feeling full?



Recommended Posts

Okay, here's one for you. I was banded one year ago exactly and I have never felt the "sweet spot" of restriction.

I have a 11cc band and have had 2 fills now equalling a total of 9.4cc's. one at 3.4cc and another at 6cc. Have any of you had to be filled to the max in order to feel restriction?

I know I need to do better on not drinking and eating at the same time. I give myself a C+ on my efforts. But when I do the right thing, I still havent had restriction.

Decision to have surgery: weighed 232

Pre-surgery weight: 214 pounds

Surgery: July 2009

Post-surgery weight: 199 pounds

1st fill 3.4cc: Sept 2009: 202 pounds

2nd fill under fluro October 2009: 205 pounds, no stretched pouch or leak, 6CC

1 year later: 214 pounds

I'm at 11cc in the 14 cc band and I have some restriction. I have lost 112.5 lbs in the last two years since banding but I still carry a considerable amount of weight in my midsection. I'm hoping I do not have to max out my band to feel restriction, as I continue to lose my midsection weight.

      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?
