:thumbup: Are there any Northern Californina people out there? There are many LB's done here yet. I have lost 20 lbs so far and love it. It would be great to hear from someone around here! Have a great day!

I go to Kaiser Richmond too. I live about 10 mins from there.

My Dr s name is Arron Baggs . He gave me my second fill.

Has anyone else gotten a big bruise from there fill ? I sure did I still have the black and blue bruise from last week. The problem is that I have been chewing my butt off but I still am getting stuck almost every day I have to PB almost every time I eat. I also have days that I can eat almost anything just fine. But once I get stuck that means I cant eat or drink much all day. But the upside is that I am dropping weight. I may need a lil unfill but I don't want too because I am finally dropping the pounds. I have been banded for 4 1/2 months. The thing is that I only have about 60 pounds to lose but my sis has about 180 pounds to lose and she has already lost 50 or 60 pounds she got banded a month before me. I have only lost about 12 pounds.And that was because of my diet post band.

      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?
