Can anyone tell me how Dr Urbandts fills are done?

He told me all fills are done under floro, Which I think is the best way to get them. Less worry about being too tight and poking the tubing.

Fills are done on Mondays by appointment. This is what I have been told. So, if at your appt. he thinks you need a fill, one will be scheduled. It won't be done that day.

I have an appt on May 18th too! I really feel the need for fill! I am 8 weeks out and lately habe been feeling not full at all! The first 6 weeks I was full but lately not at all. Only because I am restricting myself is why I am still losing...but slowly!

It goes on how the Fluid is going through your pouch. When i took my first sip it went right threw so he added 2 then i sipped again and it still went threw pretty fast so he add another cc and that put me to 3cc

I feel great.. even Water is sitting in the pouch a little.. I feel full again and it feels great!

I thought he said liquids, i didnt hear clear hehe.. So i had Tomato Soup at 4pm and that was my first meal today.. I am not hungry but i have a massive headache like i havent ate all day... I plan on having a Protein shake for dinnner and one for Breakfast.. I cant wait to eat really food again!!!!!!!!

Just a heads up to all Dr. Urbandt's patients: The ER at West Penn Hospital is going to close in January 2011. Bariatric program will still be at West Penn but I don't know where ER patients will go.

There's no way I am going to AGH. I live in Westmoreland County. I will go to Forbes in Monroeville if need be. Forbes is part of the Alle-West Hospital system. If I can't go there then I will try to switch doctors to someone at Magee.

      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.
