getting another fill in a week should I do 5 day pouch test before hand?



Recommended Posts

On Nov. 4th I am getting another fill. I can eat to much at each meal and haven't lost any weight in a month. I do try to stick to 4 oz a meal but sometimes eat 5,6, or even 7 oz. Its all healthy food Protein and vegetables or fruit. I was thinking it might be a good idea to do the 5 day pouch test before my next fill to get me back on track and make sure I haven't stretched my pouch.

Ever since I was able to eat food, I think that I have eaten too much. Our plateau is the same. No weight loss in 4-5 weeks. I definately need to find out more about the pouch test.

I just got my 4th fill today. I didn't do the pouch test, but I essentially went on a self-imposed preop diet for the past week before my fill. I was eating a lot of junk, and it was a good way for me to get back on track. I have to do Clear Liquids for the next 3 days, and then full liquids for a couple days after that. I'm hoping when I can eat solid foods (it will have been about 2 weeks on liquids diet by then) I will have lost more weight and will also have the right amount of restriction (I feel like Im close)! Anyhow, I would go for the 5 day pouch test. If anything, it will help you get back to the basics. Good luck!

Yes, I think its a good idea I need to get back on track. I am going to start it fri-tomorrow. I need to detox from sugar and carbs.

      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?
