My First Fill



Recommended Posts

Got my first fill today and kinda disappointed it was only 2.5 cc's is this normal seems like I should have gotten more ... My surgery was August 24th and I had done liquids the week before the surgery date and a week after and all together have only lost nine pounds :(

Don't be too discouraged, I got banded 11/23/11. I didn't get a fill for the first month either, and then it was still small steps. I'm only at 6.5 now, but I've lost 90lbs and don't have to go back anymore unless I have a problem.

It's a slow process but absolutely worth the time put in.

Congrats and good luck!:)

slow and steady works. It also teaches us how to eat better.

      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?
