Hey everyone I'm going to Spain for the summer from May until Aug. and I'm worried about not having any fill thus no restrict thus no weight loss and possible weight gain. Does anyone have any suggestion? Should I look for a fill doctor in Spain? I'm super scared of coming back carrying a few extra pounds!!! :smile::confused::biggrin:

It's just 3 months out of your life. You can discuss with your surgeon but you don't want to be TOO tight...that would be a nightmare and dangerous, to boot.

If you are at good restriction now just go and enjoy your summer!

Take me with you!!!!! Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy yourself. I have joked about getting my band intentionally loosened for my trip to Italy next year! LOL

GOOD LUCK!

Hey thanks for all the comments and advice!!

Okay maybe I am freaky out just a little too much but when you start losing weight you get obsessed with it and that is all you think about. My tool has helped me so much and I hope that even without a fill for 3 months I'll be able to maintain.

No offense intended for the Europeans, but I think most of the food in Europe is horrible.

If you are like me, you might lose more.

      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?
