Got my first fill today!

[if only 0]

thanks for your good wishes.

I rang the hospital today and they have arranged a barirum(sp?) x ray for me tomorrow, it's possible I may a flipped port and a leak somewhere from all the proding at my attempted unfill earlier in the week. the hospital says that if this is the case I will have to go for more surgery.

I was very down and upset about this when I heard but now i have decided that all this is a blip along the way and I have to get on with it!

my daughter (who is a hairdresser) has just 'done' my hair and I have decided to tidy myself up, put on some make-up and some happy music and not let things get to me anymore. what is to be, is to be and there is very little I can do to change things.I am gonna put a happy smile on my face and cheer up, i'm fed up being miserable!

Hi Eileen,

Good for you for getting dollied up for the night! :scared2:

This too shall pass... you will get the matter resolved and move forward. I've heard of port flipping and such. There was a guy who had surgery the day I had my surgery who was getting a new port due to a leak. It happens... you will be fine.

I hope you had a wonderful evening... I need to get dressed up and go out.. it has been TOO long!!

I had my first fill when they put the Fluid in It felt like it ran down the inside of my stomach. I do not feel restriction, I wonder if the port leaked. Has anyone felt this? What did it feel like when they put your fluid in?

I really didn't feel anything inside, but I can tell you I have nooooooooo restriction yet!! i cant eat anything I want!! I am waiting to hopefully get restriciton next Thursday with my next fill. I want to PB on pizza or bread so I can just not want to eat it!!! It's driving me crazy I am such a carb junkie.

Did you tell your doctor what you were feeling at that moment? I would talk to him/her if you havent. Maybe it's normal. I will see if I feel anything similar next time I go.

I just got my 1st fill today!! My Dr gave me 3cc's into a 12cc band. So I honestly don't expect any restriction. I have an appointment in qabout 2 1/2 weeks for another check & fill. I can't wait for the band to engage & start giving me restriction.

He also told me to do liquids for at least the rest of the day. And my nutishionist wants me to do 3 days of liquids after a fill. I figure a few days of liquids can only help my weight loss so I'm going to do the 3 days.

My Dr. also gave me the OK to start doing some light weights. I've been doing only cardio stuff at teh gym so I'm glad I can start a little lifting. ONly light weights to being. But it's important to do.
