Hello everybody,

I was banded in October 2006, got pregnant after six months and 25 pounds lighter and had a healty baby boy who is 9 months now.

I never really got a chance to really focus on my band and weight loss and am stuck now. Since my two last months of pregnance my band doesn't seem to adjust well. I am either too tight or too loose. I get a fill or defill, am fine for a few days or a couple of weeks and my band goes either tight or loose on me. With two little kids, it takes me a few weeks (sometimes months) to make an appointment for another fill/defill. Therefore, i am constantly struggling with either heartburn, indigestion, hunger, thirst, ...

Can you please suggest forums or threads where I can find answers to some of my questions? is there any hope with my situation? Please help!

Perhaps you could look on the pregnancy forum for threads on this. Unfortunately, I have read a few times that post pregnancy people have a real problem finding a good fill level that works for any length of time.

      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?
