lost track of how many fill's



Recommended Posts

I was banded Sept 2010. Down a total of 25 pounds. Did that before the band. I am going for another fill today and have lost track of how many fills I have had. What's a sweet spot? I can eat all the food I want.

I am 8 weeks post-op and had saline put into my band at surgery (4 cc). I measure out my foods for the one real meal I eat a day, 3 oz lean Protein & 6 oz veggies. I eat my Protein first then move on to veggies and finish what I can. Some days I eat all that while other days I can not finish. For right now I believe I am at my sweet spot. Of course there are certain days too that I want to eat more but I do not. Just because you can eat more does not mean that you should. Are you measuring out your meals? Did your surgeon/dietician give you a specific meal plan to follow?

This. Even with a fill nothing will keep you from eating. Plenty of food goes down easy, even if you're in the "green zone." I'd focus on portion size and weighing/measuring your food before eluding to another fill.

      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.
