went for a fill and walked out with an un-fill



Recommended Posts

hey guys,

it's been a while since i updated.. so, i finally got my insurance back in september. I saw a new fill Dr closer to home and with better technology. This Dr. (Dr. Mehta) has an x-ray machine that can see inside in real time. I had to drink that chalky crap and we saw the fluids go through my system.. it got to my pouch and filled up the pouch, drained some..then some stayed in the bottom of the pouch which appeared to be stretched and sagging over the band. So Dr. ended up removing the 5CC's i had and put me liquids for 5 days so the pouch can shrink. well this all took place mid october so now i am back to eating normal food. Now, i see the difference. I can eat so much more, and I get hungry a lot more as well.. I have to go back in a few weeks for a followup and hope I get my restriction back. Dr. couldn't tell if I stretched or slipped. i don't know what to expect in a few weeks.. but i do know this is very hard to control amounts... the good news is, I am still going to the gym..so I am not gaining back.. :thumbup: Has this happen to anyone?

thanks!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
