Hi! I had a lapband on 5/4/07 by Dr. Korus. I did well in the beginning and had lost 60 lbs. For the last six months, I do not get filled up and have been eating much more. I have gained 10 pounds. I have had 5 adjustments with no success-the last one being on 5/13. I had an endoscopy and he thought the band might have been up a little high; however, I was the first patient he ever did with an band. I had another adjustment with barium swallow and Dr. Korus felt that the band looked fine. Does anyone have this problem and any suggestions on what I should do? I am becoming very depressed about this and really want to succeed. I have about another 50 pounds to lose.

Thanks.

Judy

Is it possible to research another doctor in your area that is more experience that could exam you and give you more insite to your problem. Try to check around to see who else is in your area. Hope all works out for you.

      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?
