Recommended Posts

SO yeah.... Had a fill on monday my 1st one for 1cc. Now its friday an im down 7 lbs and im eatting 2 oz ( 1/4 cup ) every 5 hours about. If i eat sooner then 5 hours it sucks. Does this happen to most ppl? And how long does the weight keep coming off like this? Thanks ahead!

Boy do I envy you! The rate of loss has a lot to do with your current weight and what the dr is comfortable with. I weigh about 184 now and the dr says if I lose more than 2 pounds a week I will get loosened. It's due to my structure, weight and his comfort zone.

Hi Jessica, that is rather fast but 1/4 to 1/2 cup is normal good restriction. If you continue to lose at that speed I would get a slight unfill of .3 so you may eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food. You may be one of the lucky ones that still loses 1-2 lbs per week on 1 cup which is good. I would monitor your progress with your doctor and adjust accordingly. Good job.

      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?
