waiting on the first fill



Recommended Posts

I was banded on the 14th of December , Dr rumbaut in Monterry Mexico and it was a wonderful experience I felt like I was at a day spa the group was great . My mom went down with me to help and the day before my surgery my mom decided to do it with me . We both have lost 6 lbs . But we are not doing well with our eating Im able to eat everything just not as much . I ve scheduled my fill for the 18th of this month. and Im hoping that will make a differnce. when i went down to mexico I meet the best group of people and they have all lost much more than I have and are unable to eat like I am. I havent thrown up or got sick in any way I do get full fast but i fell it in my back not in the front like other explain ... anyone have advice for me :help:

Congrats to both you and your mom! My docs office won't do a fill for at least 5 weeks postop.. right now it sounds like you don't have any restriction.. just worry about healing correctly....... I'm sure the vetran bandsters will post some advice...

I hope to join you in bandland soon!

      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?
