First fill!!!

I was very anxious:confused:. After reading a lot of the posts about fills, I was hoping that my MD was not the conservative type, giving only .5 or 1cc for the first fill. He gave me 3cc's!!!!. The whole fill took less than 20 seconds and I felt absolutely nothing. Totally painless procedure. I immediately felt the difference once I took my first sip of water. They performed a barium swallow after the fill and she told me that she could see a little reflux and to drink my entire bottle of water before I left and to notify them if I had any girgling. Honestly I had a little girgle with the first and second sip but I want restriction so bad that I refused to say something :wink2:. I can tell that it takes longer for my water to go down and I can feel the backup in my esophagus......not painful though. He wont do another fill until a month after the first so my next fill is scheduled on June 30th. I feel great about the fill and I am even more motivated to get rid of this extra weight :w00t:
