Yes i did. I went in for My Post op 1st appt and these surgeon suggested taking out liquid from my band I only had 3 cc because I was told that first time banded they really don't fill u in too much. But whatever was inside had to be taken out because they felt I was still too swollen and that's what probably had my band sticking out like that. But it's still sticking out. I will wait for my next appt on Friday to see what they tell me now.

Really? Mine hurts but I don't see it t all. My doc did mention that newbies don't get fills... We have to wait about 2 months for 1st fill. U should see ur doc ASAP.

      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?
