question about my fill



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I had my first fill a month ago and have only lost 4 lbs. I definitely eat less - but not a LOT less. I exercise, eat Protein first followed by veggies and fruit - only 3 x's a day and in general I am very concientious and committed to eating right. I can eat about 1 - 1.5 cups of food at a time which is more than I thought I could eat.

Anyone have the same experience? I think I need a fill - My husband thinks I am crazy

:)

You are doing fantastic! Weight lost of 4 lbs is right in line with what a bandster should lose, 1-2 lb a week. You should only go back for a fill if you are getting hungry. Sometimes you will plateau and not lose weight, but if you're not getting ravenously hungry you still don't need a fill. Eventually, you will begin losing weight again. Continue eating 1 to 1 1/2 cups a meal, if you can stop after 1 cup that's even better. You are doing great, this is not a race!

      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?
