First fill questions



Recommended Posts

My dr uses flouro for every fill. You drink 2 gulps of the barium while they xrAy it going thru your band before the fill. Then he does the fill and you repeat the barium swallow and he xrays again. I got to take home 2 pics of my band in action, before and after. Before my fill my stoma was the size of my thumb, after it's the size of my pinky. About half the size.

I went for my first fill yesterday. Everything went fine until she started putting the needle in. She bent three needles and never got in. I have to go next week and do it under a fluoro whatever that is.

I wrote about my experience with my first fill on my blog as well. It was in May. I will say, I have them numb it now. I think my port is a little hard to get!
