WTG Robin! That's great!

Well, I got my fill. Turns out my port has flipped on it's side, but with a bunch of maneuvering, the doc was able to get it turned right so I could get the fill. He added another 2 cc, so I'm up to 4 cc in an 11 cc band. I hope this one works! I'm going to need to get my port fixed, so I'll probably be getting that done in the next couple weeks. I'm just glad my insurance is going to cover the revision!

Well today I got my first fill. I have been banded almost 3 months with no fill. I wasnt actually planning on him letting me get a fill today I was just gonna ask about it. But he said since I've gone longer than most without any fill at all he would do it. So I was a little nervous but it was a breeze no pain at all the only word I could think of to describe it was "weird". It just felt weird to me I could feel my band getting tighter. I have an 11cc band and he put in 3cc's to start. Well I'm back to liquids for a couple days but I'm so happy that I should start losing again. I had a Protein Shake and it took longer to drink than its been taking so I'm taking that as a sign that I'm tighter.:clap2: We'll see.

Go girl. Say goodbye to the 300s!

Congrads Robin! I just had my 2nd fill and had two days of liquids (my own decision) because I have been between 301 and 303 for a month. I wanted to give myself a kick and hope that I become a Twoterville. Well, I did it. I am now 298!!! I'm staying on mushies for a couple of more days so I can get further away from 300. I never want to see that number again.

I don't know if I have restriction yet but it does feel different when I swallow. So I hope I do.

I'm so happy to hear about the victories from you guys. So far fill #2 has been fine for me. No issues today and eating pretty small portions.

Pebbles, you are so beautiful! Your skin is amazing!

ladydi and rlittman -- way to go sisters!!

Am I crazy or are we missing posts from 11/1 and 11/2? I could swear there were some posts about eating Halloween candy, and I think I posted about vomiting everyday. Did anyone else notice this or is my brain starved.

Something odd happened. I couldn't get on for two days, and then, as you said, it seems some posts are missing. Weird.

Speaking of the thread....it's November! Shall we start a new thread? I'll do it...okay so everyone go to the ABC November Chat thread....NOW!!!! LOL!:D

      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?
