I had my first adjusment this past Tuesday. I was a nervous wreck :blink: and wanted to eat non-stop. But it was all nerves not true hunger. I was so glad to go on straight liquids for the one day pre-fill and the two days post fill. So far so good. Only one thing bothers me and that is the bruise left from the injection. I also have one on my wrist and one on my knee, all from injections. I wonder if I have a deficiency. I will see the Nurse Practitioner this Thursday and I am sure she will know whats causing the bruising.

I was also banded on the 16th, but have just now started getting hungry. When are you scheduled for your first fill? I go in on the 27th. It is going to be a long two weeks!

Does the injection when doing the fill hurt?

      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?
