Are you still getting fills?



Recommended Posts

I am about 7 months out post-op and still getting fills. My last one was about 3 weeks ago, and they put in .5 cc's. I think I am at 6 cc's now. I wonder how much longer I have to go until I am at a good place!

I am nearly 3 yrs out and for the past 2 months haven't had a fill or unfill.....but I keep thinking about it. I am terridied of getting too tight again and slipping again. I exercise a little more to eat a little more yummy stuff instead of a fill. After so long banded I think it is easy for some of us to drift off into poor food choices. This journey is not for the faint of heart!!

Anyone who says it's "the easy way out" has no idea.

Almost a year and a half out and I have an appointment for a fill in a week. Always trying to find that perfect spot. I might cancel the appointment and I might not. I keep changing my mind!

I am 10mnths out and my last fill was the first of March. Iv had 5 fills total and up to 9cc's. I had another appointment last week but I cancelled it. I am very close if not already to my sweet spot..I was getting some heartburn so I decided to skip a fill. my next appointment is aug 2nd, not sure if I will get a fill than or not. If you dont feel like your at your sweet spot than I would keep getting fills!

      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.
