Recommended Posts

Because I had an infection , was on two rounds of meds, and soooo badly want this to work, I was stressing seeing this one inch stitch stick out of my body.

We were in cairo at the time and my dance teacher said "oh we should go to a doctor" I had no intension of doing that until It was really recessary. I wasited until I was back in Toronto. I did not even know that iIhad a stitch to come out !

Hey Guys:

Tres Chic is doing very well, thanks for asking!!! It's so nice to come online after being away from the keyboard for awhile, and people are actually asking about you!

Quick update: I had my second fill at TLBC today. It took 5 stabs and 2 different needles to get the job done because my port is twisted (something that several patients have been complaining about lately--since apparently they started doing the procedure a little differently). My first fill was just a little less stressful. I'm looking forward to the additional restriction. I haven't gained weight, but haven't lost anymore either. How's everyone else?

Hey Tres chic Welcome back! I feel for you. I got my first fill last week and I hate needles. Thank goodness she only stuck me once. I couldn't imagine 5 times. :omg:

Anyway I am in the same boat as you. I don't really have any restriction so I am not loosing but I am not gaining either. I think I will have to call for another fill.

Let me know how this second fill goes for you. If you feel more restriction and stuff. I know it is different for everyone but I am a curious person. :D

Hey Dame... I just had the fill this morning so I'm strictly adhering to the "full-fluids" plan today (and I'm not a bit hungry... maybe just because of the stressful morning!). I'll get back to you later this week and let you know how my restriction is. I do feel a serious tightness just below my breasts, but above the port and I've been 'ever-so-carefully' sipping Water this afternoon.

Cheers!

Hey Yasmina... hope your trip was FABULOUS. Dont worry about your fill. You'll be fine. If I survived (and I'm a total suck), anyone can. I've had difficulty because my Port has turned inward so it was tricky to find. I personally found there was little, or no, restriction after the first fill. I'll get back to you and let you know how the 2nd one goes. I just got it this morning so I'm on fluids for the day.

I have my first fill tomorrow too! So I shouldn't expect much restriction then? I am so totally wide open right now. It is seriously tough not to eat larger portions, I can't wait till I get good restriction. Good luck Yasmina, and welcome home!

Becca good luck with the first fill. No biggie. I think the hardest part was just the nurse pushing to find the port. Anyway I didn't really have any restriction after the first day but I hear it is different for everyone. Good luck and let us know how it goes. :)

Well I survived the first fill, It really was not bad at all ! I was given 5cc.

I was not able to keep down the Water sooooo they took out 1cc. Much better. The taking out was much more painful then the putting in !

My next apt is in two weeks

Glad to hear you made it home ok. I was wondering because of the weather if you would get stuck in TO. Glad your fill went well

I think I wasmore afraid on the unknown. One woman had a fill the day before and was fine then the next day could not keep down Water ! Why does that happen ? That scared me as I was flying back the same day adn could not return until April 18th.

I would have loved to stay another night in Toronto. If I would miss work the next day I would have stayed the whole day !

      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.
