First fill...very awkward



Recommended Posts

So I just had mt first fill and it was very different. Since the fill, I have had zero urge to eat and have to force myself to drink a Protein Shake. I don't think I'm too tight either. is anyone else having this problem? Right now I have 4cc in a 20cc band. 3cc at time if surgery and a 1cc fill.

You may be a bit swollen following the fill, but try to get your Protein down. It is important for your nutrition. Keep sipping and trying!

The first 5-7 days following a fill is common to feel this restriction.

Im also 4cc's in a 10cc band for 17 days now and im able to get more food down & im also hungry more often.

So enjoy this while u can and keep us posted!

You have a 20cc band? Wow, that's pretty big for a band. I only thought they went upto 15cc what do I know however in Mexico they were originally using a 4cc band.

      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?
