Doctor says not ready for a fill!

By cgblake

I was little disappointed when my doctor told me that I would not be getting my first fill. He said that my acid reflux was still too bad. My heart fell to the floor. I will be 6 weeks post surgery on Monday and I was expecting to get my first fill and continue on my weight loss journey. I have lost 23 pounds and I am very happy for that but I am so wanting the weight to fall off. I guess it will be will power for another 4 weeks. My doctor says that I "MAY" get my first fill on my next visit which is March 30. Please pray that I do. I am already starting to feel a little hungry at times and I do not want to gain any of my weight loss back. Not really patiently waiting, but no choice. :angry:

    Wow what a surprise saying your acid reflex is too bad. I was told that the smaller the hole the less reflex you will have. Well, they are wrong because I too get acid reflex and have been on Niexum for years which has caused polups at the top of my stomach. They found them when I had my scope down my throat done. After my surgery on Dec 31st my family doctor told me to start getting off the Niexum which I tried but the heart burn was so bad it woke me up at night so I stayed on it. Now, day before yesterday I had my second fill and I am going to start again to try and get off them which the doctor that did the fill said I should be able to get off that medication for good. Good luck with your journey and think positive and don't gain any of that weight back. Just remember how hard it is to get it back off. March 30th will come sooner than you think.
