Hi everyone I also got an appointment for a fill for next Friday. The girl said she had me on a list of people she's contacting offering fills so if you haven't heard yet I'm sure she'll get to you. She said Chris De Bruyne is the surgeon and he'll probably be here once a month but there will be 2 bariatric nurses here every week doing fills. Have to say I'm relieved now. I'm gonna just get 1/4 or even 1/2 a 1/4 whatever that is:confused: don't want to get overfilled again:eek: I definitely need a tiny fill can eat anything at the minute and with my hols coming up in June I really want to shift the rest of this weight:mad2: Anyone else in Fitzwilliam on Friday???

Hi Roe,

My appointment is for the afternoon on Thursday, I've asked Leanne if a cancellation (ha) comes for the morning to give me a shout as am would suit me better. If this happens I'll give you a pm to arrange to meet up.

Gerri

Glad we are getting appointments and good news that its Dr C De Bruyne thats the surgeon he has a good reputation.

Heres to a hassle free continuation to our collective weight loss.

Hi Girls,

Great to hear so many of you can have a fill next week. Just a word of warning, is there anyone available to do a de fill if necessary, a fill can take a couple of days to kick in, if you've been overfilled you need to be seen within 24hrs to ease the discomfort and avoid dehydration.

As for a meet up, if anyone is interested in meeting before the fill appointment I would love to have a catch up.

I was told there would be someone available for a defill!!!! But not sure whether I trust that or not!! The girl I spoke to didn't seem to have much info at all. She just kept saying all she knew was that there would be 2 nurses there on Thursday and Friday and had no more info! So we shoud all be conservative about the amount of fill we get I think!

Dead right Coco and Holly you don't want to end up like me a few weeks ago:eek: The guy who de-filled me is on call all the time maybe thats who they're talking about:scared2: I swore I wasn't getting another fill after last time but I'm gonna get a small tweak........if not will be the size of an elephant:crying: Looks like I'm the only one in on Friday

You want to be able to eat at it so I wouldn't get a fill too near it if I were you:ohmy: plus you want to be able to enjoy your honeymoon. If it was me I'd leave it till afterwards and enjoy myself:shades_smile:

      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.
