Ok everyone, I had my first fill today. I have not offically lost 16 pounds (GO ME). I have a 9cc realize band and now I have 3 1/2ccs in it. I was told to give it about a week and if I thought I needed more, to go ahead and call for an appointment. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Go Stacy! Don't be afraid to get another fill if you don't feel any different in a week or so. Stay on top of the fills. You will get to a point where you know you are in the right "green" spot. They are not alot of fun to get, but they work. I am up to 7 l/2 ccs and finally at a point where I know I'm full and when to quit eating. Don't feel hungry all of the time. My problem was "grazing". I babysit for my grandbaby and while she is sleeping, I get bored and want to snack. That is a big NO NO. Good luck girl, don't be afraid of those fills.

      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?
