Fill on the 3rd...all of a sudden tighter



Recommended Posts

I got a fill on June 3rd. Felt good but thought I could use a little more. Mty doctor was out of town last week so I set up an appointment for this coming Thursday. All of a sudden yesterday and today I seem to not be able to eat as much, getting more stuff stuck. Is it possible that after 13 days it would tighten??? Anyone else have this happen? I figured I would see how I do tomorrow and Wednesday and then decide if I want to keep the appointment. Any advice would be appreciated....

I had mine filled on June 4th. Three days later, I couldn't eat or drink anything without having pain. I thought at first it was me getting use to the band, but by the following Monday, I was still in pain if I ate or drank anything. I went to my doctor on June 11th to have some removed (1cc), and it really helped.

I would say if you are still experiencing pain by late Tuesday night to have your doc remove 1cc and see if it helps.

By the way, during the week of readjustment (June 4-11), I lost 13 lbs. Some say that may be good, but I was not getting any nutrients from food and I was getting extremely dehydrated. Plus, when I went on June 11, my blood pressure was up due to the pain I was experiencing. :sad:

      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?
