I think....I finally have restriction!



Recommended Posts

I had my 3rd fill yesterday.....only 0.5 cc.......but I really think I have restriction! The portion size that I can eat is about half of what it was before this fill. I know that there is some swelling from the fill....but.......maybe this is it???? It is a noticable difference. This past weekend, I felt like I could eat anything.....today, not so much. LOL

I have an appointment in a month for another fill. My surgeon believes in small, frequent fills for the first 6 months.

Anyway....just wanted to share my good news.

My last fill was my fifth and I think I am just now starting to have restriction. My practice has 2 nurses. Nurse A did my first fill at 4 CC'ss, second 2CCs, Nurse B for third 1 CC, Fourth 1 CC, then Nurse A again at 1.4. I wonder if I'd had Nurse A I would have gotten more agressive fills and hit restriction sooner.

      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.
