went for a fill and came back empty



Recommended Posts

Well i went to get my second fill and the doctor couldn't get the needle in the port. He poked me three times and dug around while he was in there it hurt like an sob o well. I go in next thursday so he can do it under fluro and hopefully get the needle in. Anyway just wanted to tell someone. Thanks for reading

Hate it when they dig with the frigging needle. Just pull the damn thing out and try again, dammit!

Sorry to hear you had a sucky first experience. I can't remember how many times I've been in for a fill, but it was only one time that I've had to experience that.

Wow, I am so so sorry you had to go through that! In 5 years I've never had a fill without the aid of flouro!

Bless your heart! I too know the pain <like sticking a fork into a raw steak and moving it around> Hang in there! I just hate that you have to go back a second time and they didn't handle it right then and there for you!

That happened to me with my first fill, although they were able to get me in the same day. I had a bruise the size of my fist from the digging. I go in for second fill in 2 weeks, am eager to see what happens...

Hope the next time goes more smoothly. I've always had my fills in the doctors office without fluoro and it's always quick and easy. Hopefully the rest of yours will be easy too.

Feel better soon.

      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.
