Welcome home Yasmina

Glad you had an good trip. I went today to Toronto for fill #3. Fricken Air Canada- flight was to leave tbay at 10:40(my apt was for 1:30 and then we were flying back at 4:00pm) Well Got to airport and found out flight was delayed till 12:00, had to change coming back flight,a dn call TLBC to say I will be late.. By the time We got into TO and to clinic it was 3:15, I was so mad and flustered, but Nancy was so cool abou it. In and out and back to airport to come home- got into Tbay around 7:45- I am sooo tired. BTW I saw you in the news paper. Cant wait to chat with you.

Cool,

If you have nothing to do Staurday march 31 , come to the Finlandia Hall and see our show. Let me know and I will leave 2 tickets at the door for you.

My first fill is coming up at TLBC. They told me it is a two hour apt.

What should I expect ?

Does it hurt ? Who does it? I had a stitch poking out, what is with that ? I did not even know that I had any stitches !

Hey Yasmina

I would like to be there if I could but have other arrangements that day..As to your fill- my first one Nancy called after I had already booked my plane ticket and asked if we could change the day I told her No, I already booked my ticket, so when i went I met with Maral for 5 minutes asked me how it was going, gave me a booklet on Bandster eating, how to tell if you need a fill, unfill, stuff like that, then I met with Daryl (Nancy -the fill nurse was away) she took my weight, and then gave me a 5cc fill- It didnt hurt, but was uncomfortable- felt pressure(her pushing down trying to access it i guess), I almost passed out!!But really it doesnt hurt- this was just my nerves. Afterwards (usually fill takes about 10 seconds if that- from time they find port, swab it off and inject and put bandaid on) After that I went to waiting room, sat and sipped a bottle of Water, then left.

As to the 2 hr seminar- I really dont know cause I didnt get one due to Nancy having other plans, but I have heard others say it doesnt take 2 hrs.

Dont worry they are sooo awsome there.:heh:

Hey Yasmina I had a stitch poking out too but when I went to the Dr's for a follow up they just snip it right off and whatever stitches are in the incision just dissolve. Did you get a Dr. to snip your stitch at the follow up?

Well I never really had a follow up. They called to see how things were going and then a day later I went back to Thunder bay.

They did call me at home to see how things were going. On my way back from Egypt I stopped at the clinic to show them my stitch. They took it out. I do not have my first fill until Tuesday. Very excited about that ! What is so weird is that I can feel it !

My incision pussed for four weeks finally got mad and pulled it out myself. Had to do it in two stages first part one day the second the next day. I went to my doc and he said it was just a stitch and to pull it out if I saw it which I did. Doddie

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
