I am 6 weeks and 2 days post op today. I was nervous about getting my 1st fill because I didn't know what to expect. It was not as bad at all. 1st I was injected with same numbing med. That was the worst part. It felt like a pinch. I didn't feel a thing when my surgeon injected the 4cc fill. I was told to take it easy tomorrow with a soft diet then regular after that. I have lost 29 lbs since pre op diet/banded. 9 lbs from the pre op diet and 20 since surgery.

Glad to see this thread. I will have my first fill on April 10th - five weeks post op. I was wondering what it would feel like. They said they do 3 cc for the first fill. I have lost 23 lbs so far (3.5 weeks post op/no pre-op diet) and I am feeling great. I have to host a small get together at my house that evening for work. Do you think I should push the fill back a week? How did you feel physically afterward?

I think 2 cc should be good..I did 2cc and I deff feel the restriction...in only one week I lost 6 pounds...just make sure u follow the liquid diet all over again for the first 3 days...but next time I would do it for 4 days.....and then gradually go bak to eating food

      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?
