I was banned 6/26/12, everything has been great except for a few issues. So last Friday I got my last large fill 2cc for a total of 7cc, my doc said from now on 1/2 cc fills. She said I prolly would be super tight with this last fill that I wouldn't be able to get solids down until after noon, from combo of fill and morning tightness. But NO! Total opposite! This is the first time I've felt like I'm starving, my stomach is even making hungry noises. My ankles started swelling and gained 4 to 5 lbs. I called my doc to get a appointment for an early fill and was denied by front desk personnel. so I don't get in to MD for another 8 days. Please help with any suggestions. I feel very heavy, swollen and depressed! Same way I felt before surgery.

Yes that's true, I do the same. But isn't this the place we should feel the support!!?? After all we are all in it for the same goal. Hoping to feel more encouragement, support, and share experiences to get knowledge.

      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.
