Well they put 3ccs in my band 30 minutes ago. Glad its over. I had 4ccs day of surgery so I am 7ccs total in my 10cc band. I had some scare tissue and the only discomfort I had was when she had to dig a little thru that scar tissue to find the port. Ugh..I already feel the restriction but its probably from the swelling. I had a lot of bleeding when she pulled the needle. The needle was an 18 gauge needle and was 6" long in case anyone wanted to know the size and I layed flat on a table with my hands behind my head and I had to do a "mini crunch" to push my port to the surface for her to access it. I am sore now but can function as usual. My doctor has me on liquids for Breakfast mushies for lunch and solids for supper today and that's it....have a great day to all....

I went for my first fill a week ago.....there was only 1 cc in band from surgery date of 11/29/2012 and they added only 2 cc's last week. So with only 3 cc's I'm not feeling much restriction at all. Are you feeling it at 7cc's? Thus I'm not seeing any weight loss yet either.....:(

      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?
