Recommended Posts

I am 4 months out and due for my 3rd fill in a few days. Having my second period since April and it is horrible!! I know that when I go for my fill it will show my weight as the same or more!! what the heck is going on? is this due to a period now and practically hemmoraging or just a plateau? I have lost about 38 lbs since May..help!?!? will the next fill help??:smile2:

You have done great! 38 pounds since May is awsome. Yes, your period probably has a lot to do with it. It is probably Water retention. You should see a drop in the scale when it's over. Keep doing what your doing and it will come off. I hope the fill helps. It took me 3 fills to feel restriction. Best wishes!

I'm right there with you. I finally just reached good restriction and it's like a whole new world has opened up. Before that, I was gaining and losing the same 3 pounds over and over.

Now the band is really starting to work. Keep getting those fills and hang in there. It will get better.

I gain about 3lbs every period. It STINKS. But I know it will come off. I chose to skip a 3rd fill this last monday and pushed my appointment out another month because I am not hungry between meals that often so I hope this next fill will be the one for good restriction!

      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?
