Fills DO work, if YOU work with it.

I have 4.8cc in my band for my first fill. Today is the first day I'm allowed to eat soft solids

after being on liquids for the first 24 hours, then graduating to mushies yesterday.

We went to Olive Garden for my younger brother's graduation dinner and I ordered off the kids

menu of chicken with broccoli. I had a few bites of the Zuppa Soup that came along with it (eating most

of the kale in the Soup instead of the potatoes) and barely took four bites before I was completely full

and satisfied.

Maybe it's my honeymoon stage, but I have tuned in with my body alot since surgery and I

am learning so much about when to stop eating, when to eat, etc.

I know fills will work if you give it time. And everyone is different...someone with the same amount

of cc fill may not agree with me, but I'm just sharing a few positive thoughts for those who are curious about

band fills.

Happy Banding :0)

      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.
