I can still eat way too much



Recommended Posts

I have about 9cc in a 11cc band and can still eat way too much. Lost 50 pounds fast but have but 25 back on. Maybe my band needs to be almost full?

I would make sure that your fills are going in correctly. I had that issue too at the beginning. I was suppose to have 8 cc in an 11cc band, and I felt no restriction at all. They kept telling me it takes time to settle and give it time. I finally got tired of that, and seen a different doctor. Come to find out there was only 2 cc in from the very first ever fill I had. It had turned and was almost flipped over, so the fills werent going in. I didnt know whether to be mad they didn't know that, or grateful that I knew I wasn't crazy and finally found out what was wrong!! Im already down almost 32 pounds. So, make sure !!!! Good Luck! Hope things get better for you!

      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?
