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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
