Beating myself up was not justified



Recommended Posts

Well I have been beating myself up for about the past 7 weeks. I lost 20lbs with preop and a few weeks after surgery, then for the next 7 weeks absolutly nothing. I went for my first fill on Aug 5th thinking I might have a little restriction but nothing. I go in for my second fill on Sep 2, and Had not lost or gained a pound, but Found out that my band is leaking. They put in 5cc on Wednesday and by the next day it was already down to 2cc. The plan is to wait another 2 weeks to see if anymore is leaking. I want to scream I am 2.5 months post op and haven't even gotten to restriction. And I will have to have surgery to correct it which means another 6 weeks post op with no restriction. I just want to scream. Sorry for the ranting I am just so annoyed at the whole thing. I will not give up, I am in this for the long haul just hard to stay motivated and eat right and do the right things when my damn band isn't doing its job. Any words of advice would be appreciated..Thanks

      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?
