My doctor said that it is not uncommon for people ( esp if you have no restriction) to gain a few pounds during a vacation time. Human nature is to relax and not watch our portion sizes, etc and slip into bad habits when we are away from our routine. His advice was while on vacation try to still make appropriate choices to keep the gain to a min. Then upon return from vacation, buckle back down!

one fill is unlikely to give u much restriction at all, many of us didnt really feel it till fill number 4 or 5 so just be patient and hang on in there, try to make good choices and keep getting those fills.

Many people let loose a little on vacation, its not a step back , just a bump in the road :)

Even skinny people gain weight over vacations. Unless you were consuming a cube of butter per meal it's mostly Water weight from the extra carbs and sodium and not fat.

while away from home make sure to eat your lean Proteins first, followed by veggies then carbs if you have any room left. also try to stay active and exercise while on vacation if you can. 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?
