Avg # of fills under Fluoroscopaty



Recommended Posts

Hey guys I will be having my first fill under fluoroscopaty. I'm not scheduled till mid Dec which is a bummer. I am soo hungry lately. I'm sticking with the program, but hoping the fill will make things easier. I was wondering how many fills it took some of you to get to your sweet spot if you used fluroscopaty.

My first fill was the only one done under fluoro - the rest have been just numb, push, fill (no problems). It took about 5 fills to reach my "sweet" spot.

However, I got my first fill 4 weeks post surgery - 4 weeks between every time.

I had my first and so far only fill under Fluro....I dont know if I'm at my sweet spot but I feel satisfied after about 1 cup of food and stay satisfied for about 3 hours...If that's the sweet spot then I suppose I have it and only had one fill... but then again I have the small 4cc band and am at a fill of 3cc's.

Thank you guys. I so hope it helps. I have felt great since surgery. Really not hungry. Now though I am starving and don't get a fill until Dec 13. Did your first one help even if you didn't get to your sweet spot?

I have not had any of my fills under Fluro but I have had three so far which has brought me to 5.66cc's in my band and I feel pretty good right now and the last visit my dr. said I don't really need anymore at this time b/c I seem to be losing on a good pace....

I am 15 months post op and all 4 of my fills have been with floro. I only have 3.8 ccs but could not take anymore. I had one unfill of .2cc about 1 month ago. I have not had hunger since my first fill.

      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.
