Fill Scheduled



Recommended Posts

Hey - just wanted to let you know I decided to go with Dr. Gonzales for my first fill. I actually ended up talking to him on the phone. I called the office and his staff was in Texas at a training seminar - he was in catching up on some paperwork and answered the phone.

He took the time to talk to me about the surgery, Mexico, his diet and excersise plan for me... it was pretty funny.

I even told him that I met a girl in Mexico who was there for a revision lap band because her port tube got punctured during a fill.

He called her by name and admitted he caused the leak. He said it was because she refused flouroscopy. He says he likes to do them in the office and will if possible - but will not do it if he cannot feel your port.

Heck - I can feel my port now. That shouldn't be an issue.

I go in on November 16th.

LOOKING FORWARD TO RESTRICTION!!!!!!!

BTW - Halloween candy is small and evil.

We will wish you luck with that fill...I know if he takes you to 2cc's I didn't have any problems with it...but Kathy on the other hand did have a little bit of trouble with the 2 cc's so everyone is so different...

Good Luck and keep us posted on how it goes!

PS It was great meeting you today!!

Next time you come I want to go to the mall with you. I wanted to this weekend but my MIL made plans for us. I live like 10 mins from there and love that place although I don't go alot. I guess that is a good thing.

When Dianne does your painting you will have to take pictures and let us all see...it sounds like it's going to be great...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
