Waiting period to eat after a Fill?



Recommended Posts

How long of a waiting period to eat after having a Fill?

I had my sixed fill today (9.5cc in a 14cc band) and my Doctor had his usual post fill instructions. He wants me to be on Clear liquids for 3 days.

How long for you?

Thanks,

Border

Clear Liquids for 24 hours to 2 days, Full liquid for 2 to 4 days, mushies for 2-4 days , regular solids, with regression to clear liquids through to all steps if I have a stuck episode.

As the fills get higher I personally find that opting to the side of caution is better and I have less trouble once I get to solids. Last fill I followed the higher end suggestions and had no regression, so I plan to do the same this time.

I just had a fill yesterday- 9cc in a 14cc band. This was my first fill with my new doc and he is strict too- Clears for 3 days (Wednesday included), full/liquid purees for a week, soft foods for a week then progress as tolerated.

My old surgeon pretty much didn't care- I asked him if I should stay on liquids and he said just for that day but then I could eat whatever.... This guy I left. I am going to follow the new guy, at worst I will have a nice little weight loss.

      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?
