I have never had any twinges of pain because my doctor gives me a shot of lydocane before filling me. I have also only had the fills/unfills with the barium and xray thing (the real name has totally escaped me)

i also get a shot of lidocaine to numb the area before the actual fill needle is inserted.

i wouldnt say it feels good...but it isnt too painful for me. the only thing is its a little sore the rest of the day like a bruise.

i also got 3cc my first fill. and 1 cc my second fill. the doc said that for the Realize band that is the recommended schedule. some doctors like to be more aggressive--but if you are more aggressive you have a bigger risk of complications.

      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?
