It is possible to PB before you get a fill. Some people have a lot of restriction after surgery, before the 1st fill. I consider those people lucky. Others are very hungry and can eat as much as they could before surgery. Everyone is different.

Be honest with your doctor and tell him everything. Be sure to follow your doc's instructions.

Good luck!

Hi

I have been reading the posts on refills. What does PB stand for? Is there an Abbrev. list I could get? Thanks

      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?
