1st fill after 5/28/08 surgery



Recommended Posts

:confused:I just had my first fill. I had 2ccs placed during surgery. I now have 4ccs. I am able to eat normally just hours after the fill. I have a 10cc AP (Advanced Platform) band. Being able to eat normally after a fill should not be normal, right?

Question, why did you wait so long for a fill?

But yes, I was able to eat normally after a fill up until my 5th one. I didn't have restriction until then. My doc had me wait 24hrs before eating solid food tho after a fill.

I also ate normally after my first two fills...I had my 3rd fill a week ago today and am feeling a little restriction but I think I will need a fourth and possibly 5th fill before I am fully adjusted...It is normal, I have talked to many other patients in my doctor's office and they all have had the same experiences. I was afraid the surgery was not working too but I can surely feel I am getting close to where I should be. Best of luck to you!

      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?
