AHHHH what a relief...



Recommended Posts

YIPPIE had my unfill today of .5cc's and let me tell you I feel soooo much better.

The Doctor didnt want to unfill me he said that the Fluid was flowing fine thru the band (via x-ray) and that I probably just have inflammation....I was come on I cant have inflammation for 3 whole weeks... he said that after every PB and vomiting episode the stomach gets inflamed again so, if I was PB'ing and vomiting after every time I ate then yes I would have inflammation for 3 whole weeks.

I told him to take some out anyway cuz at the rate I'm at I'll never find relief... So Yippe me I am .5cc less but happier now I just need to exercise :(

That is good to hear this is what makes me so nervous about getting fills, the dr not hearing me if I tell him my band is too tight.

What is PBing? I'm trying to learn the lingo, was just banded on Tuesday.

A PB= productive burp...when you burp and food comes back out....It is different from vomiting as there is no heaving just a burp...vomiting is more traumatic for your band and that is why I needed an unfill I was vomiting after every meal not just PB'ing...

      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?
