Nervous About 2Nd Fill



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill Feb. 1st and it didn't hurt but the needle got stuck in the port and the PA had to pull and pull to get it out, the needle even slipped out of her hand at one point as she was trying to remove it. It was a bit scary. I have no restriction and I know I need another fill which is scheduled for March 6th, but I am nervous this is how it will be every time. It felt like sticking a knife in a cork and it getting stuck.

Hopefully it was just a one time issue. I've never had an issue with it (but I don't have a problem with needles also)....she just sticks it in then injects it. Were you standing up or laying down? Maybe try the other position. Hope you don't have an issue!

I was laying down and she had me put my legs in the air like I was doing a leg lift. I think I see the Dr. for the next fill so maybe it will be easier. Thanks.

My doctor has me to put my hands behind my head and pull up just a little as if I am doing a crunch. Sticks the needle and the whole process takes about a minute.

      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.
