Time for 2nd fill...errr maybe not?



Recommended Posts

Had a fill May 12th (2.4cc) seemed to provide some restriction. Was loving it, except when i didn't eat on schedule and ate too fast or didn't chew well enough because i felt like i was starving.

For about the last 5-8 days been eating an increasing amount. Yesterday for dinner i know it was too much. (about 1.5-2 cups of mostly meat). I was shocked at how much i could eat, i even stopped several times to try to feel the fullness.

so this morning i contact the dr. for a fill appt, which we set up for the 14th. but then at lunch, i was barely able to eat about 4 bites of food. i even pb'ed. :confused2: should i cancel my fill appt? was this just a fluke? its not my TOM, so i know i wasn't tight for that reason. just thought it odd, that yesterday i feel like i ate like a pig and today could barely eat

restriction is so fickle sometimes...

i am more tight in the mornings/afternoons then pretty open by about 2. i am just under my perfect restriction right now and will be going in for another fill after my trip.

i say play out the next 1 1/2 weeks, see what happens. keep the appointment and if you continue to have PB issues, re-evaluate how you are eating (chewing enough, slowly, etc...) if that is good, then cancel the fill or tell them when you go and see what they suggest.

good luck

This is quite common. I would see how it goes for you in the next couple days. You can always cancel your appointment. 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?
