When did you have your first fill? | I think I was able to add mushies 3 weeks out.. and My first fill was 2 months after my surgery. It hard for me to get out there sometimes because of traveling.. I will be out there again the middle of December to have my port replaced. I have had 5 fills and I have a leak so thats why Dr. Smith is replacing it. You can also call Carla and ask her if you can start mushies.. it never hurts to ask.

thanks for the info, I guess I am just feeling left out of the Thanksgiving Holiday
happenings. I will give Carla a call and see what she says. So sorry to hear that you need your port replaced. I hope all goes well with that. I am so new to this I have very mixed feelings about my decision at times. Maybe the hormones are out of wack! lol
I think once I return to work on Monday, I will be better.

wow I can't believe we were both there on the same day...what time? I guess it doesn't matter but next time you will be here give me a ring maybe we can meet! Sorry to hear about your leak.....what does he think caused it? I was really afraid when I got my first fill(which was a nightmare) that for sure he was going to poke a hole in the tubing (I don't see how he didn't) but I am ok and 2 fills later and all is well. See my port is tipped, in fact I have to have my fills standing up in order to be able to find the opening and it works well for me, he always gets it on the first try NOW!!! so good luck with your new port and keep in touch!!
Carrie

I was there at 3:30... thats normally when I make my visits, since I have to travel. what caused my leak was him poking a hole in the side of my port... and now Im just waiting for a hospital that will take me.. ugh!!!
Yeah next time im there I will let you know. I normally stay at the Hampton Inn there next to Cracker Barrel... its a pretty nice place.

Hi eveyone
2 days to go before surgery.( Tuesday ). I weight in this morning @ 322 lbs ( yesterday it was 320.8 ) When I saw the doctor in September he said he wanted me to lose 19 lbs ( was 339 lbs then ). I have an appt on Monday @ 8:30 A.M. so I hope to be down to 320 lbs.
Any last minute tips on losing 2 lbs fast. I am doing the Full liquid diet today/ clear Liquid diet on Monday.
Any tips??
Thanks
Joe

Joe,
I would not do this on a regular basis, but I would take laxatives to get the 2 lbs off before the doctor visit. Just once won't hurt.
Good luck
