  • My surgeon didnt have me do the barium. The first couple of days are the worst. I had mine on 12-2, and I feel 100% now. I go in on the 7th for my fill, so I still dont know how that will go. But you should do fine.

I didn't have to do the barium either. I was banded on December 8 and love it. I've lost 24 pounds to date (this includes my 2 week pre-op weight loss). I go for my first fill on the 10th.

Good Luck

      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?
