Had My First Fill
Well, Tuesday I had my first fill. It was uneventful, just a small pinch and a little sting and then it was over. I'm impressed with my doctor's office though. It involved 3 people doing the fill. The Nurse Practioner handled the needle, another handled the piece of equipment that showed my stomach and band on the computer monitor, and the other gave me the chalky solution to drink. Very professional and quick.
I know the Nurse Practioner and one of the assistants have had the procedure because they are in Dr. Jays advertisement. And if I had not already known that they had the surgery, you would never guessed that they were once overweight. You know sometimes how you can tell that someone has lost weight rapidly, ie. gastric bypass. They just look like normal people who are thin.
It just seems that it will be a long, long time before I can say hey I'm finally there. When they weighed me, I had lost 4 more pounds. I guess I have to keep my mantra to One Day at a Time! I still don't feel any restriction though. And I know that it might take several fills until I reach that sweet spot, but I'm going to continue walking and trying to eat sensibly. My next fill will be in a month and hopefully I will continue with this steady weight loss.
