Okay so I went ahead and made an appt with Dr. Mitchell for my first fill. Aside from a few thing giving me really minor discomfort, everything goes down. I'm not eating huge quantities but I'm not losing any weight either. I asked the receptionist how he does his fills....lol....she said he basically just feels around and hopes he hits it....GREAT!...This should be fun...I have to be optimistic though...there isn't anyone else around here that I know of.

Why didn't I get to be the poster child that goes 16 months with no fill and loses 120 pounds?

when do you go for your fill?

know what bad about a blind fill is that you dont know if he gets your port.. some one told me that they paid for a missed fill

That sucks, they should have got there money back.I know when I got my fill, after they put it in, they took it back out to make sure they found the right spot, if they don't do that, maybe you should ask them to.:confused:

absolutely they should!!! *remembering when they all thought I had 5cc's in there but in reality had NOTHING for over a month!*

Time2live: There is someone else for sure that I know of, Dr. Descouteax (or close to that), but I'd stick with Dr. Mitchell... he's the one I've heard about most.

But like "luvulots" said, I know of someone who Dr. Mitchell couldn't find the port of after several sticks, but still had to pay. (they then had to go to the hosp. and have it done with flouro {which would be nice in the first place})

Yeah, make sure they pull out the Fluid they put in, after they think they've got it in... just to be sure.

Well I'll definitely get him to pull it back out after he puts it in. My appointment isn't until the 22nd though just because I needed to wait till I was passed the 6 week mark, otherwise I would go sooner. I wonder if I have the option of going straight to the hospital for future appts if he isn't successful this time?
