I too hate needles! I was so scared on my 1st fill. My hands were sweating and my tummy was in knots. I laid down on the table and they said ok get ready for a slight burning feeling which is the numbing medicine (now I was really freaked out!). Next thing I know he said sit up. I said where is the burning feeling, and did u put the needle in? He laughed and said I was all done. I felt nothing!

Since then, on my other fills, I have felt a really tiny twinge, and then it's done. You'll be fine, and so glad to start getting fills!

Keep up the good work you're doing so far!

      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?
