Hey Danielle and August banders...we're a month post op, how are you all feeling? Have you guys had a fill yet? Weight loss? What and how are you eating?

I had my first fill this past Thursday, haven't really noticed too much of a difference. My doctor is a fill nazi...he refuses to tell me how much he's put in my band, I had to beg him to find out what size band I have. He said he doesn't want me to get hung up on the amount of Fluid in the band as to not get "band envy"( ie this person has 6cc and has lost x amt of weight or this person has 10cc and has lost that amt of weight etc).

I've lost 25lbs thus far...I weigh in again tomorrow. I pretty much eat what the family eats minus any bread or Buns. I didn't want to have to cook 2 meals. I've been out to eat and have done real good. Even celebrated my 40th bday last weekend with the girls and had a couple drinks ( I know bad girl) and really enjoyed myself without it being surrounded around food.< /p>

So glad I started this journey, hope this finds you all well and your journey has been as great as mine has been so far!

      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?
