OK, I made it to my appointment at 11:43. I know it was pushing it since I told you all my appointment was for 11:45.

Well to my surprise upon arrival my appointment was really schedule for 11:15. I was in total shock. I went blank for a second in thought thinking were did I get 11:45 from. Well, she check to see had the worker left for lunch. Thank God they were still there.

 

I went in nervous, just as if it was the day of the surgery. Got upon the table. They put the xray over me to find my port. Tah tah! ding ding ding....they found it instantly. So here comes the bad stuff, the pain.

 

I asked about numbing it. She explained, why get poke twice when you can get poke once and be finish. I am still shaking like a leaf on a twig. But guess what I didn't even know when she started or finish. I didnt feel a thing other then the alcohol swab being rub on me and her hand. They tried to talk to me during the process. I wasn't hearing that...lol...to nervous thinking my talking would bring pain....I know, I am crazy, but that's just me...lol

 

I got 4cc in a 10cc band.

Literally, i did not feel or see the needle at all. My filler was GREAT!!!!!

I hope she is the one to do it all the time.

My appointment last a total of 5 minutes, including the EKG.

I have lost a total of 12lbs. They would prefer for me to get to 159lbs by my bandevesary. I have bigger dreams, I am aiming for 135-140lbs.

 

My original weight was 191 on my very first visit to the center.

So that puts me at 179lbs now.......;)

 

Its a start!!!!

You go girl. I am so happy to hear it went so well. As I told you, I was supposed to go this Thurs, but I postponed until next Thurs. I am not hungry between meals, losing my weight and feeling great. So the doc said to wait another week. Reading your story I know I don't have anything to worry about.

When I was at my heavest, I was 268lbs. Right before the surgery I was down to 254lbs. Yesterday was 4 weeks and I'm down to 235.8lbs. Thank goodness for the band.

Just keep doing what you are doing because you are doing great!!!!!!!

yay - the fills are a breeze! I think the anticipation of the fill, for me, was so much worse than the actual fill itself!

Congratulations with the weight loss!

I knew you could do it!! I was shaking like a leaf on the first on too! I told the surgeon that if I was shaking on the outside like I thought I was it wasn't that I was afraid that it was pure anxiety or excitement. He said yes you are shaking!! Unlike you I looked at the needle and all that stuff. I am just that kind of person!! Call me weird!! Glad you made it!! and Congrats on the 12 lbs!!
