Hello Everyone I know it's been a long time since i've posted but, I was so frustrated with my band experience. I just didn't have much to say. We'll I got my port revised 02-10-05, went for followup appt 2-14-05 and discovered that not only did he revise my port he also gave me a fill, my fill was 1.5cc. I was wondering why i was feeling much different after surgery with my eating. I even had my first PB experience which wasn't very nice. But now I know why i was feeling so different. Now I can get on my journery of this weight loss experience. My initial weight the original day of surgery was 250 I am as of today 242. My original surgery date was 12-2-04. So i'm feeling a lot better about this band. I think that now that i've had my fill am i supposed to be doing liquids for a few days? I'm not quite sure. I now must really follow the banded rules. So wish me luck on this journey. I'll promise not be a stranger here any longer.

Fran - Glad you got that problem solved. My doctor has me do liquids the day of the fill only. He stresses back to solids the next day, however, many doctors have their patients do liquids for longer periods of time. You might want to check with him and see what he advises. This band will work! Congradulations on your weight loss!

      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.
