Need some feedback about a recent fill



Recommended Posts

First let me give you a little backround about me. I was banded 03/01/12, after surgery I was unable to get any fills due to having to get my gallbladder removed months later, after the gallbladder was removed I had around 4-5 fills total 4cc due to my stomach is super sensitive and only able to get around .5cc at a time. On christmas I also had to get an emergency appendectomy but did not have to remove the liquid from my band. Today I went and received a fill only .2 CC he tried .5 and it seemed to be to much for me. It took him a very long time to find my port this time, at least 15 min. Normally I can tell I received a fill but today it seems like im more hungry, and its not bothering me at all. If he missed the port putting the Fluid back in would I be able to tell besides that im hungry? Im sure its in there and im just being mental about it. Just wanted some feedback from you guys.

It's unlikely he missed the port because when they put the needle in, they can feel it "pop" through the port itself. I am guessing that's why he was fishing around for 15 minutes because he wasn't feeling the needle puncture the port.

However, if he did miss it? The only way you'll know is by having him measure the Fluid in your band at your next visit. This is done very easily, they just act like they're going to do a fill, draw all the Fluid out to see how much is in the band, and immediately put it right back in.

Give it a day or two and see how you're feeling. It may just be because the fill was so tiny you don't notice it.

Best wishes to you.

He measures it everytime, and it was where it was suppose to be, but after he does that he leaves the needle in and has me sit up, so just wondering if it could have slipped out? Idk im sure its all mental in my head, and in time im sure ill overcome, just wondering if it was possible

      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.
