Megan...Thanks so much for your feedback. Like I said I've had 2 fill w/o benefit of x-ray and they were both fine so I guess I'll just keep my appt @ the TruResults office. I presume the taking out is a no-brainer and I would guess that they just keep track of how much came out and put that amount back in. SURELY, you don't have to do it in increments @ $150 a pop!
My surgery is the 29th, just day surgery to remove a honkin' big salivary stone. They will take the entire gland out. I most appreciate any and all prayers and uplifting...it certainly never hurts! I'll post the day after to let you know I'm still among the living...just glandless!
Hope you're well!
Sandy

Well if you're going to the Surgery Center in Hurst, you won't have any option but to have it without the x-ray. The lady who does the fills is pregnant, so they can't use the machine. Once she's found the spot, and re-filled you, she'll leave the room and Manny will have you drink the Barium under the flora, so he can be sure it goes through and your pouch is in good shape. If you aren't at the place off Precinct Line, then I'd do it with the xray, just because I've had a bad experience, but my mom's done it without, and had no issues, so that's just my preference.
When's your surgery? Let us know so we can keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

Having an unfill is a smart move and can be done safely without fluro. Afterwards don't be surprised at having MORE restriction on less fluid, depending on...
I really hate to "unfill", but from everything I've been told, read & heard it's the smart thing to do. I get the "unfill" this Wednesday, my surgery is the...
