Hey all! I am due to have my 2nd adjustment Thursday. I was just wondering, I already have 3 1/2cc (from 1st fill), should I have any restriction with my 2nd fill. With what I have now, I still feel no restriction at all. I can eat just like I did before the band (although I don't), but I am still hungry within a couple hours.

I have been trying this K2O Water but it doesn't feel like it is working cause its not taking the edge off my hunger feeling. Please tell me good news and I will be able to feel the restriction with my 2nd fill

I haven't even been banded yet, but I asked my doctor specifically about the K2O product, and he said it wasn't nearly as good as the Protein Shakes. I think he said that it's like drinking Water. It seems to me (only my opinion, not the doctor) that since it's so watery that it would not stay in the pouch long enough to have any effect on hunger. I tried making a few Protein shakes just to see what they were like (since I'll be living on them in a few weeks - hopefully), and there is a big difference between how I feel after drinking the shakes, and how I feel after the yummy but less effective K2O drinks. So maybe it's the "thickness" or "volume" of the protein that matters just as much as the protein content? Just a guess....

      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?
