Banded in June and I just had my first fill last Thursday. Prior to the fill I found that I could eat and drink nearly the same amounts that I could prior to getting banded. In other words nothing gets stuck. It has been a week now since the fill and there is no change. I can still eat whatever! I am getting a bit frustrated.

Daren, sorry to say you are in a place called Bandster Hell. That is the period between getting banded and getting enough fills to get some restriction going. The best advice I can give you is stick to a modified calorie high Protein diet and do exercise. Be careful or you will regain 12 pounds like I did!!!! Best wishes,

Mimi

Thanks. I called the Dr. Office and they agreed to let me come in today. I am not sure if he is gonna give me some more fill this quickly or if he is gonna tell me to suck it up and come back next month. lol

      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?
