Looking forward to my 2nd fill!



Recommended Posts

My first fill didn't really give me much restriction and I'm anxious to get my second one on the 26th!!! Hoping to start seeing some weight fall off after this next fill!!!

Best wishes. My fills were about 4 weeks apart. It takes more 4 most of the time. Take it slow- and steady, they win the race.

I've lost consistently over the last 10 months, but didn't feel good restriction until the 6th fill. Every one is so different with this. There are some people who didn't even need a fill. Some had a fill during surgery. Others needed multiple fills. Patience is definitely a virtue with weight loss and getting into the GREEN ZONE! Best Wishes!

I can't tell if I need another fill or not. I can eat certain things like salads without a problem. I can eat about three ounces of solid Protein like ground meat without a problem but then I feel a soft stop. Other foods like pork chops get stuck right away. I'm thinking I will wait until my scheduled appointment in July to decide, but I will probably stay put. Salads and bread may be sliders for me, so I want to start focusing on protein and veggies only right now. I've lost weight this month but it bounces up and down. I'm on my second fill and have 7 in a 14cc band.

I don't think I really belong on here because I am done, but I feel such a need to tell anyone to be cautious. EAT only what you can for awhile and introduce things slowly. I could never get to that pt even now, PLEASE PLEASE be cautious and no matter if your Dr of filler puts pressure on you to try new things, CAUTION. I am the product of what goes wrong! :) God Bless all

      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?
