Hello everyone,

So, I went in for a second fill this afternoon. I was previously at a 4.8 cc with my first fill and

it gave me a decent amount of restriction. However, I was still able to eat a good amount of food.< /span>

Today has been exactly 6 weeks from the last time I had my fill and they added 2 more CC's

to it, making it a grand total of 6.8 cc.

At first, I was like, "I do not feel a difference." and still had that mindset when I was at work in the office (HUNGER kicked in and my stomach growled like a beast).

After a few Protein Shakes and relaxing at home, I feel it a little more, not much.

My question is, how many more fills until I get the glorious "sweet spot?"

I know we are all different, but I would love to hear your inputs and experience with fills.

Have a great night

I had my 2nd fill last Weds and I could feel a difference (I'm now 6cc) but it wasn't until I was back to eating regular food that I could really notice the difference. Finally, I have some restriction but I'm not at my sweet spot just yet. The restriction I have really helps and I find I don't think about food so much now. That alone is a big deal for me! :D

      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?
