How much weight can I expect to lose after the first fill?

Fills don't make you lose weight. Think of it like a Bracelet around your stomach- it doesn't speed your metabolism. They are to add Fluid to the band to make it tighter, resulting in your hunger being dimmed. When you're less hungry it's easier to eat less food.

How much you lose depends on your eating and exercise habits.

They average weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week.

Best wishes

So when I get a fill I should be less hungry?

It's really hard to say. Most people need multiple fills before they have adequate Fluid in their band' date=' so don't get discouraged if you don't notice a difference after the first fill. It takes time but it will happen.[/quote']

Thank you! I'm feeling kinda bad I haven't lost in two weeks but I'm reading that's normal! I've started walking and riding my bike hopefully that helps

      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?
