I dunno what is going on with me. I've had 3 fills and the last one was on Jan. 3rd (so a month and a half ago). I've lost almost 20lbs in a month, but the last fill was a doosey and I got full really quick. Now I am able to eat almost twice as much as I could say 2 weeks ago. :hungry:

I'm 6 months out and wondering what the heck is going on. Perhaps the 20lbs I lost loosened my band a bit? I haven't been hungry since my last fill, now I've been getting hungry 3-4 hours after my last meal. hmmmm

Hi, Carrie. It sounds like your last fill has held up really well. If it takes you 3-4 hours to get hungry, and you are still losing weight, I wouldn't mess with it. Maybe a very slight tweak if you are super concerned about the quantity you can eat. Congratulations on the great work!

Make sure you're reaching for Protein first -- for the hungry part.

Otherwise, a call or email to your doctor / nurse / nutritionist might be in order. To suddenly double the amount you eat, ouch!

That much weight loss in a month is scary good. :) Congrats!

      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?
