Hello had my first fill last week and now it is black and blue I had it done in the doctor's office so it took a few times to find the port is this normal? :D

Sounds like they got a bit rough, actually. Be careful how much poking you let them do without flouro. If they don't get it by about the 3rd try I'd be asking for flouro. Better that than a leak in your tubing.

Just my 2 cents.

Leatha, this is the first time I heard about accidentally poking the tube. Thanks for that post in case I ever considered having a fill without fluoro. No way, Jose'!

      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?
