Avg # of fills under Fluoroscopaty



Recommended Posts

Hey guys I will be having my first fill under fluoroscopaty. I'm not scheduled till mid Dec which is a bummer. I am soo hungry lately. I'm sticking with the program, but hoping the fill will make things easier. I was wondering how many fills it took some of you to get to your sweet spot if you used fluroscopaty.

My first fill was the only one done under fluoro - the rest have been just numb, push, fill (no problems). It took about 5 fills to reach my "sweet" spot.

However, I got my first fill 4 weeks post surgery - 4 weeks between every time.

I had my first and so far only fill under Fluro....I dont know if I'm at my sweet spot but I feel satisfied after about 1 cup of food and stay satisfied for about 3 hours...If that's the sweet spot then I suppose I have it and only had one fill... but then again I have the small 4cc band and am at a fill of 3cc's.

Thank you guys. I so hope it helps. I have felt great since surgery. Really not hungry. Now though I am starving and don't get a fill until Dec 13. Did your first one help even if you didn't get to your sweet spot?

I have not had any of my fills under Fluro but I have had three so far which has brought me to 5.66cc's in my band and I feel pretty good right now and the last visit my dr. said I don't really need anymore at this time b/c I seem to be losing on a good pace....

I am 15 months post op and all 4 of my fills have been with floro. I only have 3.8 ccs but could not take anymore. I had one unfill of .2cc about 1 month ago. I have not had hunger since my first fill.

      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.
