Recommended Posts

Well I had my surgery on May 31st... I was down 21.5lbs last week. On Monday I got stuck and I had to go in and the Dr. completely deflated my band.. 3.75cc out. I am going crazy, I needed more of a fill anyway, and now with it out I feel so defeated. I have an appt this coming monday.. Do you think I'll be able to get all of my Fluid back in? I am still eating like I had fluid in the band but its so hard!! I just feel like all of this, everything I have worked so hard for is gone. Also did any of you gain a lb or two when you were allowed to eat regular foods again?

I gained 1.5 poounds when I started eating solids.

I had surgery a month ago today.

I lost the 1.5 pounds in the last few days again once I stopped with the carbs.

I have lost about 15 pounds. I was at 218 the day of my pre-op diet and I am at 203 now.

I am a litte flustered, I want to lose more.

I have 4 ccs in and I have my first follow-up on the 28th with the surgeon and I have my first feel on July 6th.

I hope you get resolution.

Congrats on the 21.5!

      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?
