Today I finally got my first fill; it was somewhat successful but not without a hitch. I had to go to radiology so my doctor can find my port without incident like the last time. So anyway even with the X-ray it still took him 3 tries to find the port. It did not hurt at all, just felt weird when he was entering the port.

The first time he entered, of course with the X-ray he was having a few issues entering the port so he had to try again but the machine was in the way of the needle so he had to use a smaller needle to enter the port while the machine was over me. Anyway it took about 35 minutes for the whole procedure.

Never the less I am happy and so excited. My doctor told me I should be down about 30 pounds by my next appointment which is in 30 days from now. This was the best decision I have ever made.

My doctor claims he put 4.8cc's in my band. I was resstricted for 4-5 days and then everything was back as it as before, actually it was easier to eat. I am hungry, I can eat anything with out getting stuck. I am very cautious, and I only lost 2 pounds since first fill almost 3 weeks ago. I go for another fill the 11th. I am wondering if I hit 6 weeks after my surgery and all my swelling went down. I hope you have better luck with this first fill than i did!!
