A fill under fluoro is always best so yes by all means have it done. Hope there's not anything major that has happened. Good luck to you.

Hi Sade, I know there are many people who have their fills with Fluro to make sure it's the right fill -- I would definitely ask for this. Don't give up -- you can get back to the Green Zone!

My doc normally does fills under flouro because I fluctuate between too tight and too loose so much. Fills in the office are good if you're stable. If your doc is willing to do it under flouro, take advantage of it!

Yes definitely get checked out under X-ray. Don't give up on this! You deserve success.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
