Recommended Posts

3 weeks ago I had my first fill and was so excited as I thought this would be the extra help I needed to not overeat. well that is just not the case at all. I can still consume way to much food without any negative feelings such as tightness un the chest or a real sense of fullness. I have a 14cc band and initially had 3cc filled on my first fill. anyone out there with the same issues. and does a 2nd fill help??:help:

The larger band will take a few fills to be effective. I have 9cc in mine and can feel it now. For now, it will be a lot of willpower

For most people it takes 2-3 fills to see a difference and usually more before you hit your sweet spot.

I have the 10cc AP band with 1 fill of 2cc and I feel nothing.

<p>I just had my first fill this morning. Back on liquids</p>for 2 two days. But the Surgeon told me to be back in 3 weeks for another fill. I'm already scheduled. He said I should get "some" restriction from this one, but some people don't until they have had 2 -3. Right now I feel no difference. But I'm crossing my fingers!!!

I have the AP small (10cc) band. I've had one fill of 2cc and I have no restriction either. I go back Thursday, so I will let you know if fill #2 does the trick.

      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?
