2nd fille done today



Recommended Posts

I'm glad to say it was much easier than the first one. The NP found my port pretty easily and gave me 1cc. So now I have 3.5cc's in a 10cc band. I'm feeling good, just a little queasy but not as bad as after my first fill. Hopefully this will get me closer to the green zone. :P

Yeah, congrats.

I get queasy myself. Fortunately it passes quick enough.

Glad this go around was much easier on you :)

Hi Ladies,

It's been different each time for me. I have had 2 fills and 2 unfills. This was over a 18 month period. Had to have some removed in March of this year and last week. This was due to chronic heart burn. Hopefully I'm done for awhile... last week he missed the port... ouch

The dr missed my port on my first fill too and it is very painful. I ended up needing flouro for that one, but this time the NP was much gentler than the dr and she found the right spot pretty quickly.

It took me about a week to feel any restriction after my first fill. It's good that you called your dr, but you might need to give it a little time. My dr makes me wait at least 4 weeks between fills to allow time for healing. I hope you get good restriction soon.

      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.
