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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
