Second fill now 6.5 on 10 cc band missed port?



Recommended Posts

I WAS PRIMED WITH 2cc. Problem is I don't feel new large fill at all. I know this sounds weird but seeing where they put the band aid I don't think it got put in my port. I can feel my port and the area it was given is WAY TO LOW. Dr. wasn't my normal but his partner and floroscope wasn't used. Am I nuts? Problem is I have major knee surgery on Tues. and won't be able to get back in for fill again for 6/8 weeks. Doing well otherwise, 32# down since Jan 22. Being unable to exercise because of knee I have to be super careful with diet. Maybe I will feel totally different with first chunky meal since its been liquids since yesterday afternoon. Help please.

The port is like a cork like material. It would take an incompetent healthcare worker to not know the difference between soft tissue and the cork like material the needle penetrates?

Most people do not feel any restriction from the first 1-3 fills so if you don't feel any satiety/restriction, it's normal.

That's what I would have thought too. Must have just been my position when I say up a bit to do my "crunch" prior to fill because I heated up some chicken for lunch to test theory and woah, I now know what stuck feels like and what sliming is. I chewed very well but I am on pain meds I had to take it and combo of meat and pill = serious pain. Laughing 3 hours later.

I thought the same thing after my first fill. Then I laid down and felt where my port was and realized it is in a different place when I stand or lay.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
