2nd fill questions



Recommended Posts

I just got my 2nd fill yesterday, and my doctor only gave me 2 more CC's. So now I have 6cc in and 14cc band. I can only eat small amounts of food at a time, but I am hungry within 1-2 hours. Has anyone else had this problem? Does the hunger every hour go away with more fills? This is REAL stomach hunger, not head hunger.

If you are feeling actual hunger, you may want to try to limit the carbs you are consuming. Try eating almost total Protein for a couple of your meals and see if that helps. Try chicken or tuna salad and see if you notice a difference.

I had my first fill yesterday, 2cc in a 14cc band and although I could only have mushies today, I actually felt full enough to hold me over after having only scrambled eggs for Breakfast (I wasn't hungry for lunch). I do make an extra effort to eat more Protein and it does seem to ward off the hunger pains. Although, I am more constipated since changing my eating style, so I take a stool softner about 2x per week. I agree with the other post, try more protein and see if that helps. Good luck.

      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?
