Recommended Posts

Thanks Caramia!

We just got back and I had a complete unfill..the second she took a little out, she said she could hear my stomach allowing whatever was in my pouch in...(I was trying to drink Water right before =/ ) She said I was extremely swollen...she wasn't able to tell if I had someting stuck and blocking everything...Im on liquids for another 24 hours..

She wants me back next friday or saturday for a fill to see if I can handle it and how I'm doing...

Here's another question, I might post this as another thread...The last fill I had was only 0.6 cc...I had 2 cc's in it before...so...today, she took out 3.75cc???? How is that even possible? btw...my bands maximum is 4cc, no more...which I was thinking may be the possible reason it was so freakin tight....Have you guys ever heard of that? :blushing:

Timah so glad you are feeling better! Isn't it crazy how quickly we can feel relief? This band is so fickle! I hope you'll be back on your way in no time!!

I have never heard of more being in the band then was put it in. I've heard of less, but not more. Sounds very bizarre.

Just adding my two cents: I have always read that pineapple juice was the best for stuck food.< /p>

Did the band come primed, maybe? Otherwise, I have no clue. I am also extremely sensitive to fills. I was banded over a year ago and have only had 2 small fills and the last one was in November! I am just satisfied with the level of restriction I have and have no desire to be any tighter. Just take it slow when you start your fills again. Good luck and I hope your swelling goes down soon.:lol:

Thanks Caramia =)

Lana, I agree...the pineapple juice was one of the only sips of any liquid that "kinda" stayed down..plus it tastes good!

crzytchr..yeah Im not sure...I know that the day after my surgery he put in 2 cc's...and then my second fill was only .6 cc....unless one of the two doctors completely dropped the ball on the paperwork, which to me seems like the only logical explanation. Eh, who knows...Im not complaining now that im completely unfilled...starting fresh next week~

      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?
