Well it has been a while since I have been on here. I am 5 weeks post op and I have felt pretty good until today I have not felt to well. Back to the Dr on Monday for first fill. I think I have lost another 4lbs which would put me at 22lbs down. I am a little nervous about the fill but I know I will be fine because my mom will be there for support. Even though I have not lost a lot I am already starting to feel better. Everyone tells me I can tell you have lost weight but I can't. My mom tells me to pick up a 20lb bag of dog food this will let you know just how much weight you were carrying around with you that makes me feel so much better.

Your mom is right, even try lugging a 10 lb bag of potatoes all day, then let it go.... Feels better doesn't it? Every pound lost is a victory so good for you losing that weight!

Don't be nervous about the fill. You just lie there and they shoot you twice, once with the Novocain and the second time with the fill. Just a pinch like a flu shot. Check out my blog I have an entry about my first fill!

Thanks so much dawalsh and Chicago rose for the encouragement. I am so glad I have this to keep me motivated in my Band Journey. My Dr's appointment is at 1:45pm tomorrow will try to keep everyone posted.

      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?
