Are you writing down your calories? Thats what i do , that way i know when i need to quit for the day.I eat more than what some do, about 1500 to 1600 a day. I am losing though so i`m happy with that. I go to the gym five times a week so that helps. Donna

I have 9cc in my 10 band and feel like I could eat a lot more than I do. I just measure everything before I begin and stop once its all gone. The good thing is that once I stop I do feel satisfied. I havent had any problems with any foods and Im starting to get afraid that Im going to run out of room before I reach the elusive sweet spot.

We have someone in our local group that has almost 12cc;s in a 10cc band, so you have some room to go. I was thinking the same thing when they put 6 in for my first fill, but no problems so far....

I hope that's one day and not one meal. Just kidding.... I set out only what I'm going to eat like Monica does. For me, the full feeling doesn't hit me over the head and say stop. I try not to have more food in front of me than I should eat, cause I probably would.

I've got 9.85 in mine. They said they would go over 10 if needed. Guess we've got tough tummies...

Good luck

Bruce

      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?
