I think I just have to vent a little bit. I went for my second fill last week and my Dr. said he thought I had too much restriction already. He did the fill under floro and when I drank the barium Fluid it slowed down when going into my stomach. Doc stated that did not look right and asked if I could eat. YES, I can eat just about what ever, I feel some restriction in the mornings, but by lunchtime I have minimal restriction. I can eat sandwiches, chicken, etc. I was losing weight up until this last fill, but I was so demoralized by the whole experience of driving an hour to the appointment, paying the co-pay, and waiting 1.5 hours to have my physician tell me I have too much restriction and he's not going to add any and basically question my ability to assess whether or not I need a fill. If there is something wrong, then I wish he would explain what he thinks is going on, but I don't think he has figured it out.

I have got to get my head right. I have done well the past two days and hopefully I have gotten over my mad and can start progressing again. I just wish he would listen more, but hey he's a surgeon, you can only ask so much from a surgeon. Thanks for letting me vent, just needed to so I can move forward.

      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?
