i've had 2 fills so far. i'm up to 4ccs in a 10cc band. ive got pretty good restriction right now. if im not at my sweet spot im pretty close. i used to throw up and PB alot but that was mainly my own fault. the small bite thing was something im still mastering, but getting a whole lot better at. i've got a fill scheduled on june 1st. just not sure if i should go or not. my doctors office is pretty busy and i've got a vacation coming up that im afraid of being to tight and sick for it. so if i dont' go now im not gonna go until after my vacations over which takes me almost the middle of july before i could go back. so what do i do? do i reschedule? do i go and have them do just .5 or .25 and hope it dosent make me too tight? i dont wanna cancel then feel too lose a week later. any advice would be greatly appreiated.:thumbup:

If you have good restriction then maybe you should cancel the appt and let it go until July when you might not have as much restriction. I went today for my fourth fill and they wouldn't give it to me becasue I lost 14lbs in 5 weeks.

I would not go. I had my 2nd in Feb. and I'm just now debating whether to get a 3rd, but I think it is time now. If you have restriction now, you don't want to risk being a bit too full on your vacation!!

      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?
