How Long Did The "green Zone" Last For You?



Recommended Posts

Hello Fellow Bandsters,

I have finally reached the "Green Zone" and so excited with this renewed faith, I was wondering how long it will last, I have heard as you loose weight you band will loosen, it has taken me sooooooo long to get here I am hoping that it will last for awile, Can you tell me when you have been in the "Green Zone" how long it lasted for you? TYVM

Oh how exciting, congratulations!

I first felt I was in the Green Zone after my 3rd fill, but after about 6 weeks I realized I had slipped out of it again. I then went and got my 4th fill putting me back into the Green Zone.

I had my fill at the end of May and I am still very much in the Green Zone. I haven't had a fill since then. However, I've lost about 45 pounds since that fill and I can tell my band is starting to loosen again. I suspect in the next month or two I'll need another tiny fill to keep me in the Green Zone.

      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?
