He told me all fills are done under floro, Which I think is the best way to get them. Less worry about being too tight and poking the tubing.

Fills are done on Mondays by appointment. This is what I have been told. So, if at your appt. he thinks you need a fill, one will be scheduled. It won't be done that day.

It goes on how the Fluid is going through your pouch. When i took my first sip it went right threw so he added 2 then i sipped again and it still went threw pretty fast so he add another cc and that put me to 3cc

I feel great.. even Water is sitting in the pouch a little.. I feel full again and it feels great!

I thought he said liquids, i didnt hear clear hehe.. So i had Tomato Soup at 4pm and that was my first meal today.. I am not hungry but i have a massive headache like i havent ate all day... I plan on having a Protein shake for dinnner and one for Breakfast.. I cant wait to eat really food again!!!!!!!!

Just a heads up to all Dr. Urbandt's patients: The ER at West Penn Hospital is going to close in January 2011. Bariatric program will still be at West Penn but I don't know where ER patients will go.

There's no way I am going to AGH. I live in Westmoreland County. I will go to Forbes in Monroeville if need be. Forbes is part of the Alle-West Hospital system. If I can't go there then I will try to switch doctors to someone at Magee.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
