What's Your Opinion...fill Or Not?



Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure I need a fill. I am hungry in between meals, eating larger portions, and my weight loss is slower. Here's my dilemma though:

I'm getting married a month from Wednesday. I'm picking up my dress one week beforehand and there will be no time for more alterations (as far as I know). I'm also leaving for California and Hawaii for two weeks a few days afterwards. Everything logical in my brain says wait until after the wedding, but I am so afraid I'm going to gain weight and my dress will be too tight. Should I just suck it up and white knuckle it for a month, or get a small fill to help take the edge off? I'm going to my surgeon's office Thursday to see what they think, but I was just wondering what everyone's opinion is. Thanks!

If I was in your shoes, I would pass on the fill until after the wedding and honeymoon. I was in the same place, weight loss had slowed and I wanted another fill. I got a very small fill and am really having some trouble eating now, lots of foods I just cannot eat at all with this fill. Enjoy your wedding and honeymoon and get a fill when you come back.

If you're still losing weight, what's the rush. If you're gaining, maybe a little .25 fill?

If you are losing slower but still losing then surely it shouldn't be a problem,unless you had the dress made too small and it doesn't fit you yet? I would be holding off until after the wedding and the honeymoon so that you can relax an enjoy them without fear of problems.

      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?
