Recommended Posts

Hey guys it's buxndux again. 5 weeks post op and down 20 lbs, most of which was lost in the first 15 days. Since going back to solid foods i have been surprised at what i can eat, pretty much anything!

Did you gentelman notice a big differance after your first fill? And did the weight come of easier after that first fill?

Hey Bux. I felt a small restriction after the 1st fill, but it took me 3 to get to my "sweet spot". Hang in there, and go easy on the eating.....you will eventually get to the spot where it gets easier.

Hey Bux, like plain it took me 3 fills to really get the weight loss going. I only lost 30lbs in 7 months but last month with my 3rd fill I have hit my "sweet spot" . I've lost 7lbs already this month.

Hang in there.

Funny - same here - took 3 fills to feel good restriction. Check out the Lap Band Fills thread for more info...

I'm still unfilled, which is working well for me so far - I know I'll get a fill down the road, but I really don't need it at the moment, and the flexibility in terms of what I can eat (everything, basically) makes life easy.

I'm basically still dieting, but with less hunger.

      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.
