I dont flippin get it



Recommended Posts

I am 6 weeks postop and Ive had one fill.I have NO restriction what so ever and am getting another fill tomorrow. Ive been so good excercising and eating only 1200 calories. Well today i got chinese chicken and broccoli and measured out about a cup. Well then i had another cup and nothing! Didnt feel full or anything! I could have eaten more. I dont get it. I was waiting for that full feeling but nothing. Is this normal and besides eating all those calories could I have done harm?

On this web site they call it bandster hell! You are doing great in 6 weeks you have lost alot of weight.

I am 6 months out and only lost 33. My doctor told me 50 pounds is the normal for the 1st year.

Relax........you will get there.

I agree, in our lap-band®® support group we have Bandsters that are frustrated with the slowness they are losing the weight, but some are just two months out or less. It will take time and they will lose the weight.

Hang in there, you just need another fill or maybe more. I was lucky to get restriction early, but you will get there too - then you won't be able to eat so much and the weight will come off.

      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?
