So I was miserable for a while with a right band and got an unfill end of January, now I gained almost 30 pounds and always hungry. Trying to control Myself without a fill but summer is coming and I want to loose these 30 pounds. I was to the point where I couldn't keep anything down and now I can eat it all! What should I do?

Go back to your surgeon. Sounds like you need to think about a fill again.

No I havnt talked to her yet, I'm gonna have to make an apt, I just wish I could control myself instead of getting a fill, I'm afraid it's going to happen again to me with the too tightness and throwing everything up all the time like before :/ ugh

I know you said her, but it looks like you went to Dr. Watkins and I know he is aggressive with fills, so you will be on track very soon. And if you are still near West Chester, how about going to their support groups? You may live far way and this is not feasible, but a thought. I went to his seminar, but chose someone closer to me for surgery and recognized the name :).

      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.
