For us Americans, how much is 10K? lbs? I had my surgery Aug. 29th and I'm down 28 lbs. Have you limited your intake of fats and sugars? Are you drinking plenty of Water? I had my first fill (4 cc's) last Monday, doing okay here.

Hey dimple I was also banded Aug. 7th. I had one fill on Sept. 19th and hope to have another one in November. Not too much restriction, but better than before the fill.

I am just following dr's orders with the eating and stuff and losing a few pounds a week.

I take it one day at a time and plan my meals when I get up in the morning, it depends on what I feel like eating. I have most everything except sugar and white flour stuff.

Whole wheat Pasta is good and fat free and sugar free home made sauce is great.

just have a third of what you would normally eat.

but make sure you have the 3 oz. of Protein every meal.

      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.
