I may be wrong but I bet the other doctor decided not to give you a fill once he stuck the needle in but it was too late so he pretended to have issues! LOL! I know my office keeps track of how much is in me so your LB doctor would have found out that somebody else gave you a fill. Maybe he didn't want to be responsible if something went wrong with the fill?

I can't imagine any Dr doing this. Changing his mind before he put the needle in yes maybe, afterwards - no way!

I have to agree with you elcee... if it would have been any other dr. maybe, but this guy has been a friend and family surg. for years.

My dr. places a rounded pillow under my back... so i'm at an arch and the port is pushed up... he feels for the port and inserts needle... pulls back on syringe to make sure he is in... then pushes everything in...

A while back i had a terrible time with a fill that my doctors partner did. He like the other doctor had me lie on my back and do a crunch.... this really hurt and he was supposed to have put in 5cc... but later that day when i felt no restriction and was starving, i called and went back the next day.... and when he pulled out all my fill.... the 5cc that he supposed to had put in the day before was not there....

I saw the "free" doctor put in the needle, draw up and try and push in.... nothing either way.

I will stick with my doctor and just avoid the office manager.....lol

      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.

        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!
