mysonsmama 13 Posted August 22, 2013 Hi Folks, Does anyone else have to get fills via an x-ray machine? I am having my first fill since 2009. My port did something funny with the weight loss and that is the only way the Dr can get to it. I am very excited because we have health insurance again, and I feel like a newbie! Can't wait!!

catfish87 3,471 Posted August 22, 2013 Hi! All my fills are done using fluoro now. Not really needed for finding my port, but to SEE everything inside. Congrats on getting back to your doctor. Best wishes Heres a link to the post showing what mine looked like. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/173120-heres-what-my-restriction-level-looks-like/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsrichard 3 Posted August 22, 2013 OMG that is too funny. I had my lap band filled yesterday and it had been a long time since i saw dr. due to no insurance. My surgery was in 2009 too. I've lost only 12lbs. I had 4cc but could eat anything. My doctor used an ultrasound to find the position. It was some what uncomfortable. It is tight now and im loving it. 1 mysonsmama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
