fills in Mx-do you stay a few days?



Recommended Posts

I'm hoping to get this done soon. What I'm wondering is: When you have a fill is it a good idea to stay in Mex. for 2-3 days just to say how the fill went? I'm from WI and flying back in a day or two for a fill-adjustment just doesn't make financial sense to me. And it does look like people often get adjustments on their fills within a day or two.

I'm going to use Kuri.

If you can afford to spend the time, do it! Stay, that is. Kuri was my doc but I have not been to the infamous "Fill Day at Kuri's", which is lots of folks coming in from all over the country...chubby American girls bopping around TJ for the day...sounds like a ball!! Anyhow, I think if you got out of TJ and stayed in an airport hotel till the next day, you'd have a good idea of how your fill was doing ya. Hit the Zoo, for goodness sakes! The hotel might get you a lift to a bus stop that would take you there. If you ended up with too snug a fill, it would be a quick trip over to get that fixed, then home again.

Ya know, some folks need a few weeks to adjust to a fill level. I'm a sweller, so I need a few days before I know for sure, and some folks feel no difference, then BAM! 2 weeks later they PB something they eat all the time! I'm not sure there is any contolling how you'll do and be.

If you have the time, you'd save some money by staying, but only if you needed to adjust your fill. Otherwise, you could be home!!!

      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.
