good luck not much to it the give you a fill then a taste of Water to make sure its not too tight and fluids can go down... then my doc tells me just liquids for the rest of the day, I do shakes and by dinner time i am able to take Soups also.. for me personally the first two or three days i eat very little then im very full after that im fine............good luck and keep getting those fills

The fill is pretty easy. The doc. will locate the port, use a local and then access the port (the needle is fairly long but you won't feel a thing). I am told liquids for 24 hours then back to solid food. You may have swelling which will make you tight for a few days, then it wears off. Don't sweat it, you'll be fine.

      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.
