Ok I just got home from the hospital. The surgeon met me in the radiology department. He took pictures said everything looks good. he tried to stick me and took another picture, realized he was down to low. Tried again up higher and Yes..got it took another picture while i drank that white contrast stuff..he wanted to make sure he filled me enough to give me good restriction..i got to watch it on the screen it was actually very cool!! So I had my first fill I am happy and purees fro 2 days!

OK this morning I am meeting my doctor at the hospital and he is going to try a fill with the radiologist. He said it didn't completely flip over so he may be able to do it. My question is why was I told to fast last night and this morning? huh?? has me wondering!! I'll let ya know what happens

The doctors arent sure why it flipped over. They are unable to move it or flip it bqck without surgery. It could be from lifting too much too soon..thats hard to say I am a student (heavy book bag) a mom heavy kid stuff LOL, a wife heavy laundry a bunch of pets..who knows. I will find out today when my surgery will be. Unfortunately I do not have time for this I have finals next week ahhhhhh!!!!! Anyway thanks for your thoughts!! Hope all of you guys are well! Have a great day!

The doctors arent really clear about why or how it flipped completely over. It can be from lifting to much too fast. I really tried not to but I am a student (heavy books) and a mother of 2 a million pets laundry ect...it can be 1 of many things. I'll find out today when we are having the surgery to put it back in oits right place..hopefully this time it stays put!@!!!!:sad:
