MVR...It hurt a lot????? Everyone says fills are a piece of cake. I haven't had a fill yet and now I don't think I want to. How could it not hurt?? Any time someone sticks a long needle in your stomach it's gotta hurt. I just hoped they were all right. Maybe they just didn't want to scare us newbies. Well...I am scared to death of my first fill and in no hurry to have it.

Aw munch sorry to scare you, but i was all primed up for a non painful experience going by what everyone else was saying and it was YUK. my port area is still abit sore to press so thats probably why it hurt but i must say so far all my experiences have been more unpleasant than I have read about ( I think I'm just a wimp) !!!! Yours will be like everyone else's and you won't even know it's done. I don't even care about the pain I just wish I had some restriction!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK

Marga I don't have much restriction. I had my fill a week ago, July 31, and I can eat just about anything. After surgery I would get chicken and some fish stuck, with the pain in my chest and sliming. I still don't eat white meat chicken, but I have not had that happen. Maybe I am chewing more, I don't know? I have had this weird thing happening with food feeling like it is stuck in my throat. Like after you vomit. It is gross. Yesterday that was there and after about 2 hours from lunch I felt like I was going to pbing, but I didn't. So, maybe I have some thing going on, I just don't feel it? I have my next appointment on August 24, and should get another fill.

Munchkin everyone is so different. I did not have a good experience. It was not due to pain, but due to my anxiety when they could not find my port and they had the needle in me, searching around. I kept trying to talk myself out of the faint feeling, but I could not control it! I felt so stupid, because it really did not hurt! My port is tilting a bit. I am not looking forward to the next one, but I WANT IT!!!!!!

You will do fine.

MVR, that's ok

You yourself didn't really scare me I think I am just looking for an excuse not to ever have a fill. I too am a WIMP. For the first time since my surgery I can feel my port. Hope I didn't pop something in my sleep. Maybe its the port saying HERE I AM get ready for the big stick because it's a comming. Don't worry I am fine. A little hungry but otherwise ok.

      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.
