How many fills did you get in the first 6 months?



Recommended Posts

I was banded in August of this year. I got my third fill a few weeks ago. I have no restriction and the surgeon said he'd do my next fill in 3 months!!

I'm calling today to see if he will reconsider. I'd like another fill next week. I'm currently at 5.5 cc's in a 10 cc band.

I was banded on 8/13/10. I had my first fill at like 4 weeks out 4CC, second 3 weeks later 2 CC, third 2 1/2 weeks after that 1 cc. I have an appointment for a fourth in 2 days (last was about a month ago). I had limited restriction after last fill for a couple days but that went away. Were you experiencing significant restriction after your last fill. If so the doctor may feel you are at restriction. If this is not true I would definately talk to them about a fill. Three months seems like a lot to me. I know this is a marathon not a race; but I do feel frustrated like I am on a very strick diet but not loosing very fast. I way all my Protein. I was actually loosing faster presurgery on my own high protein, low fat, low carb diet.

      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?
