multiple sticks for fills?



Recommended Posts

Jack's experience is about normal as I read. The nevious types like myself will allways worrie. Its a shame that we waste out time, but if we keep learning what to expect then when we are getting our fill we will understand what is going on. Had I not been informed about what to expect I would not have been so impressed by the success of my fill. Their are so many stories, the needle is nothing. I have caused myself more pain trimming my fingernails too short.

Dems... It's OK. this is such an amazing learning process.....We all have more questions as we go along. I will tell you I practically made myself sick in the waiting room waiting for THAT NEEDLE for my first fill, and the it was NOTHING! A tiny pin prick and then NO pain during that fishing around for the port. Now that I've had the first fill, I'm learning all sorts of new things and have a whole new list of questions. It's just part of the learning curve. Honest.

Thanks for the compassion. I always get myself worked up over the littlest things and then it's usually not as bad as I thought. What's a few needle pokes? I suppose I need to listen to everyone's circumstances and the good and the bad and remind myself not every situation is the same. I'll take my questions to my Dr. and perhaps some of my concerns might not pertain to me.

I need to remind myself why I'm going through with this........

My health, my family and myself.

      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.
