I was banded on 5/20 starting weight was 336 now 287 it's a tough not eating but this is the best choice I have made. I have had 1 tightening so far but still feel little to no restriction when should I start feeling restriction or full with very little food ?

If you don't feel the restriction, go back and get another fill. If your Doctor allows, keep going back every few weeks or so until you start to feel it.

This restriction should be immediate. My doctor would make me drink 8 oz of Water before I leave his office to make sure I was not too tight. I felt it immediately, but was sure it went down within 30 mins.

I love that feeling~

      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.
