To Fill or not to fill?



Recommended Posts

I need to see my surgeon in July for my 3 month check up. Last time I saw him, he was pleased with my weightloss and didn't do a fill. I have reached a plateau. I know I need a fill. However, we are going to Michigan July 7-17th. I don't want to be to too tight and so far from home. What would you do in my shoes? I dont have a problem waiting till I get back from the trip and I am pretty sure I can see him before hand if needed. Just give me your opinions. Thanks.

If you're experiencing no restriction now, I would keep your appointment with the surgeon. He can do a conservative fill and then after vacation if you're not restricted, you could go for a 2nd fill.

I'd call my surgeon's office and ask if I schedule it a little bit earlier (maybe closer to the end of this month) to make sure I had time to get my fill, and 'walk around with it a bit' before my vacation. Once you explain you're going to be out of town for 10 days I bet they'd prefer to see you beforehand.

Other than that, I've gotten fills before vacation with no problem so far (*knock wood*). I don't need to overeat on vacation so I'm always happy to be properly filled. So although you don't want to be overfilled and stuck far out of town, that is no reason to walk around NOW knowing that you are underfilled. Move that appointment up, I bet your surgeon's office will understand.

Happy Band (And Life) Journeys To All...

Thanks for the great advice. I think I will call them tomorrow and make an appointment. Worse case scenerio they will say I dont need a fill or they cant get me in till after my vacation.

      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.
