When did you get your fill???

Sorry, I missed your post on Friday ;)

I know that fills can sometimes take a week or 2 to kick in.... if its only been a few days - you might need to give it time?

When I feel like this on my "slacker" days... I NEED to up my Fluid intake... it really helps... make sure you are drinking enough.

The last fill I had took about 2 weeks before it got to this restriction - it's been like this for about 2 months now. It sort of creeped up on me lol !

If it were me, i'd wait a while, give it time to work.

Hope this helps a wee bit

I was filled on 4/7/04 at first i had really good restriction. I go back to the doc on 4/20/04 for a check up and a fill that is almost two weeks do you think that is long enough?

2 weeks should probably be enough time as your fill was relatively small.

I have 3.75 ml in my band & it's a perfect restriction for me. I know that everyone is different - but it might give you a rough guide as to much much you might need?

Have you only got 1cc in your band in total?

I know that the more Fluid you have in your band - then even the tinyest amount can make a world of difference.

im from the UK, but I "think" the ready meal sizes are the same???

In the morning I have 1 weetabix or 1 handfull of Cereal with semi skimmed milk

lunch I have 2 brown bread with cold meat

dinner I have either a "ready meal for one" (mostly manage all of it - but sometimes only 3/4) or 1/2 chicken breast with 2 baby potatoes & a little veg.

If I get hungry at night, I have a yoghurt or a tin of Soup.

I try to drink as much fluids as possible... that certainly keeps the hunger at bay.

Is there a difference between cc & ml ??

      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?
