I had my 4th fill last thurs and had to go back same day and get unfilled- and even had 1/2 cc more removed than what I had put in because I couldnt stop throwing up. I realized that night that I had some type of flu because for 2 nighys before I had been trying to fight something etc. Well, went back yesterday to get my 1 cc back (put me at 5.5cc's in band), I feel a bit tight! Is it normal to only be able to sip drinks and nibble the tiniest bites? Im thirsty! If I drink too fast, it come right back! I didnt feel enough restriction at 5...after swelling went down...but while I had swelling from the adjustment- it was perfect! Was hoping 5.5 would be my magic number! Should I have .25 removed- or will it get better?

I can drink and eat this time- but definitely not a lot at one time. Im going to see how things go over the weekend after swelling goes down.

Have been reading board posts and getting scared again. lol!

      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?
