First Fill!!

Yesterday was my first fill and thanks to everyone here, I wasn't that nervous! I was surprised when my surgeon came in and did it instead of his assistant. Wow, he is really cute and extremely personable!

 

Back to topic, he had me on the table and told me the port was under my incision so it would not hur and he was right. I asked him how much he put in during surgery and he said there was 4cc in there now. He ended up putting in 1.5 cc. It was weird when he had the needle in the port, he had me do a small abdominal crunch and then a little wiggling / slight pressure and we were done! :)

 

I have lost 30 lbs since my July banding and am so happy to have been able to do this for myself!

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Congrats on your fill. What size band do you have? I have a 10cc band and my surgeon put 3cc in at the time of my surgery...Had first fill on 9-1

I had my first fill a week ago and also was not as nervous as I thought I would be because of everyone here saying it was nothing and didn't really hurt.

Are you feeling more restricted? Are you on liquids or mushy food? Every doctor seems to have a different opinion on that.

Good luck and keep up the good work.

I am not sure what size band I have but of course thought I should ask AFTER I left on Friday. I do feel more restriction but not bad and am able to eat even though I should have been on liquids for 2 days and then back to mushy - We had company and so I ate a little regular food and chewed extra well.

Thanks so much you all for the support and good wishes!
