I had mt third fill at TLBC yesterday



Recommended Posts

I was also able to drink my Water there, but by dinner time I could not keep Soup down at all, and I have not even been able to keep Water down. I was on course today and did not eat or drink all day until I got home at around 5:00pm, I have still not been able to keep anything down. I don't know if it is just taking time for the swelling after a fill to go down, or if I should go and get a de-fill. My first fill I had to have one cc removed before I left because I could not drink the water while there, the second fill added only one mm and I was able to drink the water before I left and was fine the next day. This time I got 1.5 mm, I was able to drink the water there but now it is just as bad as last night. What do you think? Is there any way to bring down the swelling, eating ice maybe?

Thanks for any suggestions

Thanks, Carla:help:

Hi: You don't want to become dehydrated by waiting it out. Contact the clinic first thing friday and ask. Don't wait for the weekend and then be forced to call Dr. Yau out on a weekend. Better to get it sorted out during business hours if you can. Doddie

I went back today to have a defill, oh what a relief! I had lost 9 pounds in 48 hours so I was really dehydrated, I was so thirsty I didn't care about hunger at all. Nancy took out half of what I had put in on the 26th, so I am now at 5.75.

      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?
