No first fill for me.



Recommended Posts

Came to get my first fill and was not able to get it because my dr put my port right underneath my port and my incision hasn't healed. It's infected so now I have to wait till I don't know when. Hopefully I can make due without. I was really counting on this fill. I think I needed it.

Yea thanks. And I even talked to a so called nurse at my surgeons office and she said it's not infected just keep washing with your soap. I go to true results for my full and they told me right away no they can't fill it until it's healed and it looks infected. So now I might have to wait another month for this thing to heal. Happy holidays to you too. Thanks

i didn't get a fill on my first visit either. i was so disappointed. but what i didn't do and i want you to do is just pretend you are in the green zone and eat only the restricted amount anyways. eat just as if you are. practice this with every meal. it will take will power. you will be hungry but it will do you good in the long run. so sorry heal up fast

Thank you. Yea I was disappointed too. But I kinda figured they weren't gonna give It to me. I will take your advice thanks. That helps. I was just gonna go on a liquid diet for a couple of days then just do mushies for a few days as well.

Thanks again.

which true results do you go to? and are they sure it's an infection? i go to one in Scottsdale AZ.. my incision site looked infected but it was actually a reaction to the glue they use to close you up with.. I would keep an eye on it and make an appointment as soon as you think it looks good. but like the other poster said try to eat only as if you had restriction you will get there

I go to the true results here in Houston, Tx. Well I guess she was nurse, a lady I talked to in my doctors office over the phone said it wasn't infected. But then i went to true results today to get my fill and they said they couldn't do it cause it's not healed and not suppose to look like that. But they sent a picture over to my doctor and he just keep using soap and Water. Mmmm ok. Lol.

I was going to do that, eat how I'm suppose to. They have me going back next week just to check on it. If they think it looks good I may get a fill next week, who knows? We shall see.

      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.
