I'm not sure how much from surgery, but she took everything out, then put a total of 4.4 cc's in at my fill. What about you?

Thank you!!! How many Cc's did you get your first fill and how much total from surgery if they put any in?

Everyone is different. Every person will be adjusted according to their needs. :)

I didn't have my first adjustment until eight weeks out because of swelling from my hiatal hernia repair keeping me in my Green Zone until about seven weeks out from surgery. When I went in for my eight week aftercare appointment, I learned that my surgeon primed my band with 5 cc of Fluid and my NP and I decided to start me with a 1/2 cc adjustment and that was my only adjustment. I am pretty happy there. :)

My advice is to take it slow. You can always have more Fluid added but if you are over filled, you can be very miserable and if you don't jump on it and get that fluid out, immediately, you can do real harm to yourself. Get a small adjustment up, take it out for a test drive and see how it works for you then, if necessary, get a little more, then go from there. :)

Good luck. :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?
