HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FILL DATE. I GO ON MAY 16TH.

HI ROBERTA I WAS JUST BANDED MARCH 25, 2011 AND I HEAR THAT A LOT OF PATIENTS HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH FILLS FROM ROSETTE. HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE? MY FIRST FILL IS MAY 16 AND I HAVE NO RESTRICTION I STILL FEEL NORMAL. I VE LOST 19 LBS SO FAR BUT IM AT A STAND STILL. LET ME KNOW ANYTHING THAT COULD HELP THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I JUST STARTED MY LIQUID DIET TODAY. IM SCHEDULED TO GO IN ON THE 25TH OF MARCH. A LITTLE NERVOUS BUT TOO LATE TO TURN BACK NOW. ANY POINTERS THAT I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE I GO IN. ANYBODY.

SOME ONE I KNOW WHO HAS THE LAPBAND ALREADY TOLD ME THEY WOULD PUSH YOU INTO GASTRIC. SHE SAYS DONT DO IT. I THINK THEY GET MORE MONEY I BELIEVE STIC TO YOUR GUNS.] Hello all, I went in for my surgical consult on Thur 3/10 and my doctor seem to be pushing the Gastric Bypass more than the band. I am more inclined to go with the band. The idea of having my insides switched around and cut away is very frightening to me. I want to lose 100 pounds and he kept saying that for that amount I should go with the Gastric and not the band. Has anyone else had their doctor push for this? Did you go with the band and get the results you wanted? I just cant wrap my head around having the Gastric it seems so drastic and end of the line kind of thing.
