Less restriction after 2nd fill then the 1st fill



Recommended Posts

Has anyone felt less restriction after their 2nd fill then they did after the 1st one? I actually feel like they took out some of the fill... My first one was 4 cc and then just last week I got 2 more cc's. This is really frustrating... I was so excited to get my 2nd fill thinking it was going to really make a difference and then nothing...

When you went in for your fill, did they first remove all of the previous fill? It is important that they do that in order to make sure you do not have a leak.

Also, bands are fickle creatures. I would get a fill, and sometimes it would take up to two weeks before I would notice the difference. Many others have said they experienced the same thing.

It seems that as soon as you go off the liquids after a fill for three days and go back to food...the weight you lost while on liquids just comes back on... It's very frustrating. :biggrin:

I don't know if they removed the first fill... I can tell you when I got my first one, Water girggled at lot...it was tight but it felt great again... this fill, I drank Water and nothing, i was even able to take large sips and by the time I got back to work I was able to down a bottle of water in no time, just like before the band.

Now you have me wondering if there is a leak... I will call the Dr. and see what they say.

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?
