After of months of waiting ( my own choice ) I have an appointment at TLBC on Jan 26th. I am so excited !

I do have a question, what is a fill with Fluro ?

Ooooooo Congrats Yasmina!!!!:clap2: :clap2:

I did not have fluro, Yoda probably can explain it better, but I'll try for you.

I beleive when Yoda went for her first fill they had a very difficult time finding her port. So, from then on they did the fills under fluro. I think they put you in a kinda x-ray thingy and get you to swallow some glowing stuff so they can see inside you, and can find the port perfectly. It is very rare they need to do this (but ya, it is Yoda ya know:heh: ). You probably won't ever need it, so don't worry to much!!:)

Hi Yoda:nervous .

YEEEHAAAA Congrats Yasmina!! Is that your consult appt or your surgery appt? :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Cloe pretty much summed it up. A fluro is done at the "Imaging Section" (normally in a hospital)....piece of cake.....you stand there in front of a machine which flashses up your insides on a screen (very kewl to see all the organs and stuff....even the heart beating!) so that the doc can see the port clearly and give you the needle for the fill. Than, you drink barium (which glows) and you can follow the path it takes...it is neat...you see it move quickly down your throat....then sorta stop when it reaches the band....trickles through and then goes into the stomach. It is all done in well under 5 mins.

Alas, I no longer need to have it done by fluro and will go to the clinic next time I need a fill (but hopefully I won't need another one; I'm hoping this one from yesterday will end up being my sweet spot!).

I will be one of you soon !

It is just my consult,by phone, but she said if their is any cancelations she will call me. I faxed in my forms.I hope that it happens before Jan 26th. She told me if I want ,it is possible to have the surgery 2 weeks after that date. You bet your booties I do !

Now that I have the apt, I am no longer scared. :faint: Just excited. Listening to all of you over the past couple months, your problems, mildstones, successes and getting answeres to my questions has really helped me out. Your support has been awsome!

Thank You each and everyone of you !

      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.

      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.
