Hi All, I am 2 months out of surgery....I am not sure about any of this, my weight loss or if symptons are normal. I have only lost 23 lbs in 2 months is that normal? Good? Bad? I have not had a fill yet, I get my first one Monday not really sure what to expect. Right now I dont feel any restriction it has been a struggle not to overeat. Any suggestions or help?

Your weightloss is fine. 23lbs in 2 months is great. I lost around the same amount in that time. You need to remember that with the band your doctor expects a weightloss of 1-2 lbs per week.

I have to agree, your weight loss is good, we were banded about the same time and that is about the same amount of weight I loss. I was at a stall for about 2 weeks, and was very disappointed for awhile, but then they kept telling me that this was very normal. I had my first fill on the 9th. So far I really cannot tell a difference, but I haven't overeaten either. So we will see what happens. He put 2.5 cc in the band.

Great, thank you all for the input. I dont have a support system here so kind of lost. There is a group that meets once a month but I am rarely able to make it. I get my first fill on the 13th so I hope that goes well. I have noticed that I get hungry faster now and am able to eat more. I freak out over streching my pouch.

How do I get the neat little count down meter?

      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?
