So I had my 3rd fill on Tuesday in Mexicali. I have had 2 previous fills in North Dakota and I can say that I won't ever be back to my local Dr. for a fill - Mexicali is the ONLY place I will go. My first fill was completely painless, the surgeon did it in 2 seconds the standard 1cc fill and out the door. My second fill was from the "new girl" and it was horrible, I was telling her to please use a new needle each time she stuck me, 1/2 way through she had to numb the area I was so sore, she dug and dug and dug and finally found the port, it was scary. She also completely lied to me when I asked how she knew she wasn't hitting the tubing and she said the tubing is self-sealing and if she did hit it, it would "fix" itself, HA Wouldn't that be great. So this 3rd fill I was able to get back to the people we know and love in Mexicali. I again met great resistance from my family, but did what I knew to be best for me. Ernesto picked me up from the airport, it was just the two of us, I had a great ride to Mexicali. We arrived at Almatar about 1:15, by 1:30pm I was with Dr. Compos. Dr. Compos started to do fluro and said I had a nice fill, I agreed and that I was just looking for about .4 more. He laughed and said we were thinking the same thing. He put in .4 and said no, I'm going to do .3. I laughed and said "no .4" :) He then showed me the difference between .3 and .4 He explained that with .4 I would eating mostly liquids and PBing, .3 was perfect. So tell me folks if I had gone back to North Dakota and a nurse that doesn't use fluro, what would have stopped them from putting in .4??? NOTHING, I would have pushed for the .4 and been miserable and PBing and possibly causing more damage than good, then AFTER the holidays some time I would have gone back and gotten a lot more than .1 taken out to try and fix the horrible cycle our bodies get in when they aren't being feed properly. Nope, no one can tell me anymore that a fill w/out fluro is safe. I ran into Dr. A on the way out and he chatted with me for a minute. Everyone kept telling me how good I looked and asking about my success. Dr. A asked if he could have a before and after pic, I laughed and told him he even has before and afters of my scars on the group site :) I had a great ride back with Juan Jose and then off to my sisters in San Deigo. It was a great trip and I would and will do it again whenever the need arises.
