I may be wrong but I bet the other doctor decided not to give you a fill once he stuck the needle in but it was too late so he pretended to have issues! LOL! I know my office keeps track of how much is in me so your LB doctor would have found out that somebody else gave you a fill. Maybe he didn't want to be responsible if something went wrong with the fill?

I can't imagine any Dr doing this. Changing his mind before he put the needle in yes maybe, afterwards - no way!

I have to agree with you elcee... if it would have been any other dr. maybe, but this guy has been a friend and family surg. for years.

My dr. places a rounded pillow under my back... so i'm at an arch and the port is pushed up... he feels for the port and inserts needle... pulls back on syringe to make sure he is in... then pushes everything in...

A while back i had a terrible time with a fill that my doctors partner did. He like the other doctor had me lie on my back and do a crunch.... this really hurt and he was supposed to have put in 5cc... but later that day when i felt no restriction and was starving, i called and went back the next day.... and when he pulled out all my fill.... the 5cc that he supposed to had put in the day before was not there....

I saw the "free" doctor put in the needle, draw up and try and push in.... nothing either way.

I will stick with my doctor and just avoid the office manager.....lol

      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.
