Any ideas behind this reasoning...

Thanks for the replies.. I didn't mean the 6 weeks to wait for a fill but more the 6 weeks of liquid/puree. Some people I have heard from only had 1 week post-op on liquid then off to solids.

Thanks again!

I was going to do the one hole surgery too because my surgeon is one of the 5 who does it, but he actually said he had no really good reason to do it because there is more pain involved, it takes longer to heal and it was safer for me as he had much more room to work with the 4 tiny incisions. He said unless I planned on bikini beach bathing, going with the one hole wasn't really necessary. Also, He found a hiatal hernia which is so much easier to fix with the 4 incisions. I do plan on looking damn hot in a bathing suit next summer and I will need some nip and tucking thanks to the C Section leaving me flabby, but the scars I have are so minimal that I just don't care.

I have my meeting with the surgeon on Monday (11/1). His way of doing things after surgery doesn't seem to go along with a lot of what I'm reading here. After surgery I will not have a fill, but I will be on 3 weeks of liquid then 3 weeks of puree. At 6 weeks he will do my first fill.

Now of course I have this 'question' on my list of things to ask him on Monday but just curious about your thoughts.:wink2:

My surgery is this coming Thursday, 11/4. My surgeon seems to be from the same school of thought as yours; however, three family members have had the gastric bypass (in another state); one of who was done by a pioneer in the surgery. I know that all surgeons differ - but......they all had to follow a low carb, high Protein diet for as long as one week and as short as one day (one done by the pioneer). Also, they all had different lengths of time post-op for liquids and purees. All were also done through laporiscopy.
