I had my second fill during TOM and I had absolutely no problem.

I can't eat hardly anything before and during my cycle. I have learned the hard way. So I have made a personal decision NOT to have my fills during this time. I have some friends on another thread who also have trouble eating during "TOM". Do you have trouble while TOM is visiting? If you do, don't get your fill at that time.

I haven't had my TOM since banding. I am due next week, just like you. I am also due for my fill next week, just like you. I can only hope that neither of us have trouble! I guess we both had better take it slow to avoid sliming or PBing.

I really don't think it will matter much with the first fill. They put very little in the first time. After that, it might be a problem.

slim, you won't notice much of a difference with the first fill. (I know because we have the same doctor and he doesn't put much in the first time). I have had 3 fills and they have all been around my TOM and I have had no problems. I guess it is different for everyone.

I do not think it matters , I had my fill this Sunday and it was that TOM , but the good news is that since i was banded a month ago I had two cycles ... which I never had before before starting to lose weight which shows that my body is starting to get normalized .... :-) :laugh:

      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.
