Not me. I've been banded since dec 2013 and haven't lost any weight the aftercare person I saw for the first 3 fills missed my port every time so I didn't get a fill at all.. 3 months wasted then they filled it too much and I was throwing up everything.. So that's 5 months wasted and now I have pancreatits from gall stones (was perfectly healthy before the band) and I can't continue my care until I get over that.. So good luck I'm already 9 months in and slim results

Who was your surgeon and we're you primed at surgery? I also was banded by Dr. Benavides in Nov. 2013. I have lost 68lbs so far and I always see physician assistant Shunte and she is awesome!!! I'm a slow loser but all is well. You know you can request what physician assistant you want to see...give her a shot like I said she is awesome!!! Don't give up yet the key is a lot of patience!!! ????

      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?
