Another Fill



Recommended Posts

I'm going for my second fill tomorrow even though I only got my first one 5 days ago. I feel NOTHING and my doc said to come back in if I didn't feel even a twinge!

So I'm excited to get my 2nd one and START this journey!!!

It's great you're getting your second fill so soon. I got my first one a week and a half ago and feel nothing but my MD won't give me another for 6 weeks... that's July 6. Let us know how the second fill goes.

Okay, so had my 2nd fill today.

The nurse poked me 4-5 times with no luck; she couldn't "get it". ;) It was getting quite painful.

Fortunately, one of the docs was on his way in...so I waited for him for about 20-30 mins and then he gave it a go. He even had to try 2 or 3 times. He finally got it but only after I stood up (instead of lying down). It was much more unpleasant this time due to all the poking/prodding.

Anyways, they put in 2 more ccs...for a total of 7 now. So hopefully THAT will do the trick. Mind you...once again I was able to swallow my whole bottle in about 10 mins and I felt nothing!

Doc said if I still don't feel anything after a few days that they will check and see if all 7 is in there. He said there is a small chance that perhaps the first 5 didn't go in???!!! (I hope it did!).

Anyways...alls well that ends well (knocks on wood).

Yikes! It sounds like that second fill was a nightmare and I hope you get some restriction with it. I am curious as to why the MD did not aspirate to see what amount was in there before he injected more. I hope you're not too sore.

That sounds really painful Yoda:hug: .

My docter says he wont give me my first fill until I go 3 weeks without losing. I dont want to go 3 weeks without losing, oh well.

Having my first somewhat normal meal today....mashed carrots(yum) and mashed BBQ chicken(?who'd a thunk it).

Did anyone take a long time to master the new habit of chewing things to death. I'm having a hard time. I'm starting to wonder if I ever chewed anything at all. It kinda just goes down my throat before I know it. Then I panick thinking I'm gonna throw up.

That is what he'll do next time. I think he decided against it this time because I was already so full of lil' holes and was starting to swell a bit etc. Plus I was already bruised from it last week (I bruise easily) so it prob looked worse than it actually was.

Yup, me too Cloe. Plus I'm finding it difficult to talk while eating (not chewing...just eating in general and conversing). Mind you, my husband sees this as a blessing! I"m trying to chew chew chew but it is hard...unfortunately I prob won't do it as well as I should until I have my first PB/Golfball or whatever. Apparently it is inevitable. That will prob be my wake up call to REALLY try harder to chew to goo.

      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?

      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.
