Trying this 1 more time. Today I meet my new Surgeon for the first time.



Recommended Posts

I have a 3:00 apt. to meet my new surgeon, and his staff. Also I am suppose to get a slight fill. "I hope so, I'm getting hungrier more often." So it's time for a fill.

I will also find out if he wants to make himself some money by changing this 4cc band to a newer model. I'll see what he has to say. But this one has good restriction. So I am not really interested.

I am interested in seeing if his Teacher in WLS (MY OLD SURGEON) gets brought up in conversation.

Ill be back later, Shirley.

Hope it goes well. Have to agree with Marcy, didn't know they made a band so small!

It's an older version band that is no longer used for various reasons.

Yep it's a oldie but a goodie.

He was glad to take me on as a patient. I lost 2lbs since last Thursday. So Boop oop a Doop ! I am doing just fine. I am wright on track 1 - 2lbs a week is fine by me. So I am dieting with a window between 800 - 1200 Cal. a day, and 60 - 70G of Protein a day. That is working for me.

I got a small fill So I have 2.75cc in a 4cc Band.

I feel good restriction also

Yes he was telling me what a pain in the A*s he was to work for,

Excellent Chief of Bariatrics Surgeon. But a bad Attitude if something

doesn't go his way. We laughed about that.

I go back in 4 weeks. I guess he wants to see how i'm doing as a patient. As far as weight Loss.

That turtle is slowly moving.

:party:

Any idea what these various reasons might be?

Not sure, from what I've read a lot of those fitted with the 4cc band haven't been able to find the right restriction, erosion, slips, etc.

O.K Thanks. I just want to know because mine will be 5 yrs. old this year, and it is in great shape. I hope it stays that way.

      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?
