I dont know if the yogart has fruit in it then I would think that would be not so good. It is supposed to be soft and no large amounts. Only the cup size amount and if you get full early you have to wait. No liquids during feeding and only after the alotted time and only the still small amounts. The idea is to keep the size of the stomach entact and no breaking the rules. It sounds like she is possibly exceeding the amounts. Sometimes with the fill being in the beginning it is very little you can consume at a time. even after several years and after some period of time my wife still must chew alot and stop sooner . we get alot of to go boxes. This is a positive lifestyle change and it works. It does not come without some discomfort but as the weight comes off the lifestyle will change to even exercise walking to jogging. I have read many problems where people are just getting scared or not giving it time. Yes you should have faith but just like say for instance stopping smoking cigarettes. The best way is to just quit and not go back. Take the leap . Make the decision. I guess what I am saying is first explore making sure you just eat a little less than that cup and follow the times for eating strictly and not drinking except after the alotted time and only the amounts once again. Nothing is ever easy. We are currently kind of in limbo ourselves with a fill access problem that is repeating itself possibly and was expensive before. I am going to give it the two weeks and see if the doctor can access the port to show faith in my wifes decision but if lightning strikes twice in the same place I will not stand by idle and watch our life savings go down the drain with extra charges to correct failures of such an expensive procedure. The hospital must be held liable at some point if their doctor and product have issues. I can say you have to be mentally tough . The first day in the bariatric ward my wife made the laps like clockwork . I cannot remember how many but it was alot and then she followed everything very strictly and it was not without some pain. I cannot remember about all the medications and things she had to follow but there is no leaving the pathway. That is why there is a very serious screening process where my wife went at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. Still Dr. Lord said the flipping of the port had never happened to him before and it happened to my wife just months into this thing and the hospital charged us 400 to verify and then 2000 to correct it . We have a problem now a year later and if it is the same I will not go quietly into that good night.

I am afraid mine and my wifes story is turning out to be more bad news. I second mortgaged my house to get the highest quality surgery at the best hospital around. My wife researched it all and the whole family came up with everything they could then the same story happened as you Mariasha and pretty much in the same context inside a year. The doctor was good about it and was fixing it for free. The hospital however wanted 2000 dollars for the 20 minute procedure and recovery. We managed it and here I find myself about a year later and my wife has paid as she went for all the fills and maitenance. You know they get 400+ to use that flouroscope as well. we paid it before. We also just paid it again this week. It sounds even sadder now since this flipping of the port was seemingly impossible . I think they will have to gall to charge us again. So besides fills and normal costs it is beginning to look like an extra 2500 a year for a flipped port. Originally it was just about 18000 dollars and the normal costs but then 2500 more within the first year and now a year later so far the flouroscope costs and they are talking about us paying out of pocket again. My wife has lost the weight because she is strong minded to the life style but should she be burdened with literally being robbed for 2500 a year for something they say has never happened before? I am afraid I am going to have to lawyer up. I do not see any other way and my intention is to just force the hospital to back their doctor with warranty work. Think about that 25000 dollars extra over a 10 year period if this continued and remember we are in our second round. comments?
