Newbie who is 15 weeks post surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello

I am a newbie to this site. I am 15 weeks post surgery. I am starting to get really frustrated. I am not feeling very little to no restriction. My husband has even said to me that he is not seeing a difference in how much I eat. I have had several fills and I believe I have 9ccs in my 11cc band. I am just wondering if anyone out there has been through the same thing? I have only lost 12 pounds and now I am stuck..... I losse 3 pounds then within a couple days I gain it right back. I just want to CRY!

I'm sorry you are going through such a rough time. Have you spoken to your doctor about not feeling any different? Maybe they need to do a fill under flouroscopy to make sure everything is as it should be.

Their is a machine called Fluoroscope "X-RAY for your Organs, and the Band. "

Tell your Dr. That you want to be filled under Fluoroscope He/ and you will watch the whole thing.

If there is a Problem it will show up.

Since your under the Scope, tell him to fill you to your fill line. "Yes you have one, and he can do this" then you will know what you have in the Band.

You should feel Restriction, when they give you a Glass of Water to Drink.

This is what I had done, I hope it works for you..

      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?
