Holidays Right After A Fill? Just A Question..



Recommended Posts

I am just curious, that if I go in for my very first fill four days before I leave for holidays, how will I feel?? Will it be fine, will I by chance stretch it out on holidays? I know it will not give me a lot of restriction but just not sure on how I will expect to feel..

Just wanting some input, of course never experienced a fill,

Opinions??

Thank you so much!!! ^_^

Chances are your first fill will not do much, and no one can stretch their pouch untill they gave true restriction where they knw that food is actually sitting there slowly passing through the band.

But to answer your question, life happens. There will always be a holiday, a wedding, party, special occasion that will be there down the road.

We have to learn to live with the band, and not postpone it's work.

      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?
