Wow, that was fast. I think the average time is about 4 to 6 weeks post-op. Are tolerating everything okay? Are you able to get the mushies down without a problem? I'd be curious to know. Before he put the fill in did you have any sensation of being restricted, just curious, okay nosey.

Just remeber to be very careful about what you eat and how you eat, slowly with teeny tiny bites and chew until whatever you're eating is almost liquid. Take on new foods slowly and carfully. When are you suppose to go onto real food?

My pleasure, so glad you belong to this board because someone is always giving out the same great advice to each other. I know it has been helpful for me and I'm glad you have obviously taken the right attitude towards it. Don't worry 1.5cc isn't usually a problem for most of us and there are alot of folks here who would give their right arms to have been filled so much so quickly. That's one of the biggest complaints right after someone has been banded.

Good Luck

Happy Holidays

Cindy

      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.
