I SURVIVED MY FIRST FILL!!!!!:cursing:

for those of you wondering how it feels and if it hurts this is my story:

i went in laid down (my 5 YO son came with me) doc came in and spent the majority of his time trying to find the darn thing!!!! once he did he put in the needle and have you ever had a MMR shot???? thats what it feels like.

he got the nenedle in and then lost the port again ugh the needle grazed the port and scraped which sent my blood curdling from the sound.:unsure:

he took out what was in and then put that plus 2 cc;s more in for a total of 5cc's.

i drank and feel fine.

i am on fluids for 2 days including today then back to mushies for 2 days and then on to reg food. i really havent gone to reg food bc the mushies have been o for me for now. should i have the desire for real food i will prob try that the end of the week.

hope this has helped anyone who is looking for how it feels and if not well thanks for reading!!!:huh2:

We were told not to stick with the mushies because for the most part they are high calorie/low nutrient foods, and that it was important to move on to solids like chicken and fish....?

Anyway thanks for your post!

I had asked my doc about a low profile port and bless him very tactfully he said...right now, Rebecca, it will be hard for me to even find the port. But I promise when you lose enough that the old one sticks out, I will gladly put a smaller one in for you! :cursing:

LOL

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
