Sweet spot comes and goes



Recommended Posts

Here's my dilemma: My sweet spot keeps coming and going over about a 2 week period, meaning for a week or two I'm perfectly filled and then for a week or two I can eat more than I should. I think I have first bite syndrome anyway because I get full on just 3-4 bites, but if I wait a few minutes I can finish my meal, which is usually more than I should. I've noticed that I usually stay full and satisfied for about 1.5 to 2 hours. I'm thinking I need just a small fill. Has anyone experienced this?

I have this problem too but mine is because of my period. When I am having my period I am very tight but when I am not I can eat anything I want. My surgery and my first fill were done while on my period so we are going to do the next one differently. Women who still have a period do swell and that will make you tighter. I am also tighter when it is time for me to ovulate. One thing about it....my band tells me when I am about to start and when I can get pregnant.

Good luck.

      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?
