Fills in Alberta
Hi Brenda,
My port was placed under the muscle as oppose to right on top of the muscle. For this reason, it's usually more difficult for doctors to access it when doing fills. From what I understand, Dr. Mitchell doesn't do fills with fluro. I haven't had a fill yet so maybe it won't be a problem but I was just hoping to find some options. Like you, Dr. Mitchell was the only doctor I was able to find in the province who would do fills for me. I made an appt. in July so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well. How many fills have you had with Dr. Mitchell. Was he ever unable to access your port?
Thanks, ERICA
This is my 1st time on this web site so forgive me if I don't have the concept of what is happening down yet...
I have not had the surgery yet but was getting quite deppressed because I couldn't find a surgeon here in Alberta, then maybe God was on my side or something because the next site I clicked on was the Cap Health site and it had a hospital here in Edmonton, long wait lists but at least I don't have to go to Mexico... Is this where you had your surgery done? And how long of a wait for surgery? Did your surgery go well? And how much have you lost?
