ahhhh... sweet relief. It's amazing how quickly you feel better. I'm just home right now, snarfing down some yogurt, YES, yogurt! I was taking tiny sips all morning, cause I was soooo thirsty, and after the defill, I drank about half a litre of my bottled Water. It's insane!

Did it with the flouroscope... he was sure it wouldn't work, that it was kinked, and it did LOOK kinked at the end where the tubing comes out of the port. But after a couple tries and flipping me on my side, he saw that it didn't look like he was quite going in. He got a longer needle... a SPINAL tap needle, tried that, flipped me over to see if it looked like it was in the very center of the port, and it was. The second he reattached or tried to reattach the syringe, a bunch of saline spilled out, and then he pulled out about another .5cc... he said about 1cc spilled. I don't care, even if there is a tiny bit left in, I'll find out when I go for my fill, whenever that may be.

They froze me, which was really nice, cause I was sore from all the prodding yesterday. Oh how nice it would be to be flouro-ed everytime. I almost asked if he wanted to do my fills, but thought that might be pushing my luck!

Anyways, I gotta hurry and get to work. I was feeling dizzy when I woke up this morning, and think I almost passed out in the shower... better now. Full of yogurt and water! Mmmmmm... a big Tim Hortons Soup for me for lunch, I think!

Talk to you guys later!

Mandi

Mandi so glad that you are feeling better. Reading your posts I was so upset for you. I hate not knowing what is wrong with me.

Anyway take it easy and you will have your fills back in no time. I am sure you will do great! :D

Just talked to Dr. C - he said probably a week to 10 days only (for the defill), then I can go back up to 1cc to start.

Hey Mandi, glad you are feeling better. What went wrong to make this happen? Did Dr C. offer any explanation?

About my very slow weight loss. I don't think that I could take any more fill, I'm at 1.8ccs in a 4cc band and the band let's me know it's enough. Breakfast is almost impossible, I can drink coffee and if I'm lucky I can eat yogurt but very slowly. My lunch usually consist of Soup and sometimes more yogurt. Supper is a hit and miss. I try to eat with my husband whatever is made but I can only eat very small portions and about 1/3rd of the time I end up pbing. So my very slow weight loss is not because of what I am eating.

Very funny!:heh:

Good news about the 10 days. You can do it!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
