Hi all, :thumbup:

I got my second fill last week 3cc the first fill didn't even work for me but! this second one did it. What's weird is that I had lot's of pain where my port is at for a week and today I noticed I no longer have the pain but I do not feel restricted like I did this past week....could that mean it leaked? I called my doctor waiting for his call back. I am worried has anyone had this happend too?:Dancing_shocked:

It's good that you called your doctor, but most likely you had some initial swelling after your fill and now it has subsided...that's common. Most likely you'll find that you'll be skating along thinking you have little restriction then BAM! you'll get stuck on some new food. Then it might happen again and again. So you may have more restriction than you realize right now...so continue to be careful and stick with the 'rules'! If, after 3-4 weeks, you still feel like you need more fill just call your doctor and schedule another one. It takes several adjustments before you get optimal restriction and it's best to proceed slowly.

      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?
