How Much Saline @ First Fill?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 7/15/10. My doc puts in 3cc at first. I have a 10 cc band. I just went for my first adjustment on Monday. He put 1 cc in the band. No fluro, just the Water test. I am feeling a little more restriction, but I think I might have a ways to go. Good luck to all!

@Isa Bella

My doc said that I could eat normally before I go in for my fills... just not to stuff myself.

I got 4ccs on my first fill yesterday. I asked how he decides and he smiled and said, "experience." When I was leaving, the nurse said that my doc was a little aggressive with the first fill but that the pay off would be good - MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED! I am scheduled to go back on September 13.

      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?
