Going through Approval Process in Israel

Ichilov called me to tell me that it may take as long as six months to schedule the surgery. I am so disappointed. I figured I would have to wait a month or two at the most.

hdsantoni - How was your first fill? I assume that you had it done at the hospital.

WOW!!!! Six months? Is there somewhere else you can go? It is strange how diffrent our experiences are in the same country. I sure hope that it is sooner then 6 months for you.

My first fill was 4 weeks after, and as you can see have lost a lot of weight. I do not have any restriction what-so-ever, and am just going on willpower to control eating. I do exercise everyday. The fill was under x-ray and was strange. Since my port is in my chest, it was a little scary with the needle going in right there. There wasn't even really a pinch to say of when he inserted the needle. The only thing I can say that I didn't like was drinking the dye. Yuk!! I am going back up there on Sunday for another fill and for him to check the placement of everything. My Port isn't attached on one side so when I lay on my side it goes on it's side. Here is hoping that you hear good news soon.:bananalama:

I don't think I can do anything at this point. I will just have to be patient. You have lost a lot of weight since the surgery. Why did they put the port in your chest? I thought they put the port somewhere on the side above the waist.

Are you seeing a nutritionist regularly?
