First Fill

I was scheduled for my first fill on June 23. I went in and thank goodness my insurance pays for fills, so I just had to pay my 20. copay. I was very nervous and the PA that did my fill was obviosly still learning.

She mashed on my stomach to find the port and then she numbed me, (in the wrong spot) so she called in someone to help her, she mashed on my stomach foound the port and inserted the needle. She unfilled to find out how much saline was in the band and I had 3cc's so she added 1.5 cc's so, now I am at 4.5cc's. I had to sip on a cup of water and then I was allowed to leave with another fill appt. in 2 weeks. Next fill on 7/8!! I hope this one goes better. I am now 16lbs. down. Still very hungry in between meals and I am going to try very hard to stick to the recommended amounts. I have been exercising 4-5 days per week at the gym. Usually on the elliptical or the treadmill. I have not learned to like the gym. I don't know if that will ever happen.:crying:
