Omg failed fill!!



Recommended Posts

So I drove 3 hrs for a fill she poked my 8x and the fill was unsuccessful she couldn't find my port I feel like crying!! So frustrating! Can't get me back in till the 3rd of Jan and if they aren't successful then they will have to door under X-ray. Unfortunately they don't have an X-ray on site I would have to go to the hospital for that and can only do that in the docs surgery date:( I'm going to be so bruised in the morning!!

I am so sorry this happened to you.... Was it the Dr who attempted the fill...if not did you speak to the Dr while you were there?

Worse case.... just keep on your plan until you can get this resolved... it will make you feel better to continue to lose during all this drama!

how terrible...I casnt believ this is that person first time not being able to find the port he should have been able to call someone in. My first fill the new nurse poked me 2 times and then I asked to see someone else the doctor came in and did it...I was still swollen and you might be also causing the difficulty...could you call and make the appointment with the surgon?

So sorry this happened to you. I would definitely wait and do the fill under xray so there is no more searching around. This is only a minor setback, you can continue to lose weight without the fill if you focus on portion sizes. Put it behind you and enjoy the holidays.

      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.
