At my first fill a little over a week ago the doc had me sit up with needle still in my port and drink some Water. He asked me if it felt like it was backing up in my throat or if it was kind of painful in my chest. At the point that there was a little backing up in my throat I told him so. However, now I'm wondering if I was being too cautious. Can anyone describe the feeling you have drinking the water when you have proper restriction?

First off its ALWAYS better to be TOO Cautious than to not be. EVERY TIME you PB your putting you band at risk for a slip !

So being a little cautious is ok. Second of all you should not feel ANYTHING when you drink water , if you do your too tight !

I can all but guarantee you if you had left that fill like that you would have been back in for an unfill shortly !

If i have good restriction I feel NOTHING When i drink liquids after my fill !

      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.
