What size is your band? I'm assuming you got banded in the last 2 months. You have no information for us to work with. And usually if this is your initial "fill" teh doctor is guessing as well on when you will notice a difference. Everybody is different in what works as a restriction.

We need more information?

Best wishes and keep the faith.

Anniek38, contact your doctor's office and they will tell you what size of band. And everytime you go to get a "fill" in the future, ask the doctor for how much fill he/she put in. It's important information to have and you should know what's in your body.

Check my signature at the bottom of my post. You can put one in yours. I copied someone else's and pasted it my profile, then I modified it. This is the easy way unless you like typing.

Hugs

Best wishes and Keep the Faith

Ok iv had my first fill I feel no different no restriction am I soppose to right away? Im at 4cc

It will take a few fills before you feel any restriction. You are in what is referred to as Bandster Hell, the time period before you reach restriction. It will be hard but you need to follow the band rules and eat 1 cup of food per meal, Protein first and drink your Water. Yes, it will feel like a diet but you can do this. It will take several fills before you feel restriction.

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.
