Does anyone know if you have to have a unfil when you get cosmetic surgery? I had a breast reduction & lift prior to lapband and what was left of the girls are slowly disapearing so I'm already planning to get inplants and was just wondering about the fill. Thx in advance for your help.

Depends on Doctors involved.

Here in Ontario Canada, they believe in the total defill before any surgery.

I was told 6 weeks...........I begged and they gave me my first fill at 5 weeks. I was only filled to 4cc, despite the fact that I had been over 7 before my TT. I have had 2 subsequent fills, and I am at 5.8. I am getting another fill on Monday. I have very little restriction, and it is very frustrating right now.

      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?
