Fill Scheduled



Recommended Posts

Hey - just wanted to let you know I decided to go with Dr. Gonzales for my first fill. I actually ended up talking to him on the phone. I called the office and his staff was in Texas at a training seminar - he was in catching up on some paperwork and answered the phone.

He took the time to talk to me about the surgery, Mexico, his diet and excersise plan for me... it was pretty funny.

I even told him that I met a girl in Mexico who was there for a revision lap band because her port tube got punctured during a fill.

He called her by name and admitted he caused the leak. He said it was because she refused flouroscopy. He says he likes to do them in the office and will if possible - but will not do it if he cannot feel your port.

Heck - I can feel my port now. That shouldn't be an issue.

I go in on November 16th.

LOOKING FORWARD TO RESTRICTION!!!!!!!

BTW - Halloween candy is small and evil.

We will wish you luck with that fill...I know if he takes you to 2cc's I didn't have any problems with it...but Kathy on the other hand did have a little bit of trouble with the 2 cc's so everyone is so different...

Good Luck and keep us posted on how it goes!

PS It was great meeting you today!!

Next time you come I want to go to the mall with you. I wanted to this weekend but my MIL made plans for us. I live like 10 mins from there and love that place although I don't go alot. I guess that is a good thing.

When Dianne does your painting you will have to take pictures and let us all see...it sounds like it's going to be great...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
