Hello All,

I have been given the day for my surgery with Dr Mignon in Chimay Belgium/france. Which reminds me I have to prganise hotel! DOH!

Anyway I digress my question is this...what is fluroscopie, the Dr did mention it, at that time I had slightly tuned out as I had already done all the research into lap banding and he was going over it again. So by the time I realised that I had no idea of what fluroscopie is, I was out of the door and looking for a taxi!. :faint:

I know it has something to do with the fill but what exactly???.

They have you drink a liquid that shows up on an x-ray while you drink it. That way they can see if enough liquid is able to pass through your band so that you are not over tight. Its kind of like watching an xray movie.. hm that sounds kinky lol.

Also when they put the needle in your port they can see where exactly the port is at..less poking around. A much safer fill.

It's not bad. Pretty painless. Although the fluoro tastes like crap!! LOL!! It's a more precise way to get a fill.

Thanks Guys!

That made things a lot clearer.

I hope it doesn't taste to bad! I have a horrible habit of vomitting if I can't stand the taste or smell of something. Thankfully that doesn't happen very often.

I have images of walking around glowing he he

Still got to get the hotel sorted DOH!:grouphug:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
