Had first fill.... do feel much different



Recommended Posts

It really does depend on the person. I am going in for my 5th fill in january and I can't wait. although i have been struggling with chicken, bread, i am resorting back to the old days with the soft foods.

Yes, it depends on your body. For me it took me 5 fills to finally have good restriction. Keep going back until you get there. Good luck.

Hi! I too just had my first fill on Thursday... I feel very different in the morning (more restriction- as many experience). Today is my second day of liquids.. last night I had cream of chicken Soup and it was not keeping the hunger away... I guess it was just running right through.

How much did you get filled with? I was done with 1.5... they tried 2cc's but it was not staying down.

I was able to watch it on the x-ray.. it was really cool to watch it and then feel the liquid going down at the same time!

The little 'mini' support group that collected in the waiting room as we all waiting to get in for the fill was pretty fun too!

I love love love the band!

Whisper!

Can`t wait for my first fill on the 17th after a 3 month wait. Just hope it works as I don`t want to wait a further 3 months for a second.

      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?
