First fill scheduled--next MONTH!



Recommended Posts

Argh. I've been so busy with a new job and all that I completely spaced on having a 6-week postop checkup. So it wasn't until more than 8 weeks later that I went in, and got clearance to schedule my first fill. Then I did the phone-tag dance with the office for three days, and by the time I connected with someone it was a week later.

Finally I have my fill scheduled...on NOVEMBER 29!! Argh. It will be all I can do to maintain until then, but will have to face Thanksgiving with no restriction!! Oh boy. :rolleyes:

Hey Alex. I'm sorry to hear about your fill delay. Maybe they will have a cancellation and be able to get you in sooner. I hope everything else is going well. Are you finding this re-banding to be just like the first time around or is it a whole new ball game?

Hey Alex,

That wait is a bummer but the weight is even more of one! Just remember that over the holiday. You've been here before so just remember to make good choices. Good luck!

      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?
