First Fill

Ok. I read all of the post about how terrible the first fill is. I really lucked out! I was prepared for a horrible office visit. Luckily I did not have too much pain. Evidently the way my Dr. Put my band in I only have one incision for the band and one for my hernia repair. The Doctor used a 19 gage needle and inserted it through my incision in my belly button as I did a stomach crunch. He pegged the port the first try. The fill itself was not bad except for the guzzling water to be sure that the band was not too tight. My husband said that the suringe had about 7ccs in it and it was empty when he finished. I should have asked what the total was. I am on liquids for two days and I think that tonight I will try some eggs. We shall see how that works:blush:
