Six weeks post surgery I am scheduled for my first fill tomorrow. I'm excited, but not sure what to expect after. I have no fill at this time and can eat anything I have tried. Including a Soft Pita, haven't tried bread because I haven't wanted it. I have been losing slowly, about 16 lbs since surgery April 5.

It is tough trying to get in enough Protein eating what I am eating now. I know that I will get 2cc and go back every 2 weeks until I am in the green zone. What I don't know is what to expect. As far as I know I have no restriction right now but I know I am not as hungry as I used to be, that could just be the Water.

How did you feel after your first fill?

Back from my fill appointment. Took about 5 minutes because the Dr had a hard time finding my port. No pain involved though. I was asked if I wanted a topical anesthesia, but I declined. I'm not sure why it would be needed. Dr Bunch was pushing on my stomach and had me change positions, but no discomfort or pain.

He told me I probably wouldn't feel any restriction yet because it is only 2cc. I go back in 2 weeks for another 2cc.

      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.
