Fluroscopic fill!



Recommended Posts

I plan on having my first fluoro fill this Friday! What I am wondering is if anyone who has been struggling to get into their "sweet spot" "green zone" and then had the Fluoro fill done finally get there? I have had my share of fills and unfills I haven't truly been into the green zone. I am hoping this really helps me! Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've been banded for 1 1/2 years and just had my first fill under fluorosopic last week. It really put a parsepective on things and actuctly how my band is workng. I did get a fill nd now I am feeling better. I hoping to get my act together. Afer 1 week I'm starting to slip, but I getting it back together. I think that that the fill under floro made me realize what a tool I have, how it works and put me in charge of what I'm am eating. I'm starting to finally feel full just after a small meal and not want to snack so much. I think that is does help you find your green zone beause you can see for yourself your band as it is infilled and then refilled to find the right about of Fluid. To me the visual really helped see exactly what was going down and seeing . Good luck to you.

I find that it does better than a blind fill, but that is me. I have less problems when I get a floro fill.

      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.
