Second fill today!



Recommended Posts

Just got done about a half hour ago with my second fill. I have lost 27 pounds in 6 weeks. I am very proud of that number but I'm eager to get to 30 pounds lost lol. Still have a long way to go but at least I'm getting closer. My first fill was painful but this time I didn't even feel it! It was great. I'm up to 4cc. Nurse was not sure why Dr didn't give me the full 3 last time so she was a bit hesitant to give me more than two. Its okay with me tho because I know its working. Yay! Starting my 5k training this week for a family 5k in October. Also hoping to tighten and tone my body as well as drop more weight. 27 pounds lost and 11 inches lost. Yay!

Congrats miznikkie!

I'm also on my second fill. At 4.6 and feel some restriction finally! Many things slide right on past, but the things I really like such as chicken do not so I have to follow the rules now. Been waiting for this day for a while.

Yeah, it sounds like the doc didn't give you enough on the first fill either. Mine was the same way, but it was my own fault. The fill freaked me out so much when I took a drink that he took too much out.

I have a third fill scheduled for the end of the month and can't wait. Think I'm close, but I would like a bit more restriction.

I go for my 3rd fill at the end of this month as well. Surprisingly I have felt restriction since surgery. Not huge but like before I could eat 5 pieces of pizza with no problem but last week before the flu I could eat 1-2 slices of thin crust pizza to feel full. So huge improvement. How much have you lost since surgery?

      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?
