WELL TODAY I WENT IN FOR MY FIRST FILL. IT WAS UNDER FLUROSCOPY. I HAD TO DRINK SOME BARIUM FIRST. WELL THE DOC COULDNT FIND THE MID PORT AND HIT THE EDGE AND IT KINDA BOUNCED AND THEN POPPED. WOW - WHAT A CREEPY FEELING. IT SCARED ME MORE THAN IT HURT ACTUALLY. BUT IT DEF WAS UNCOMFORTABLE. GLAD THAT'S OVER WITH! WHEW! HE PUT 1 CC IN AND THEN TOOK 1/2 CC BACK OUT COZ WHEN I DRANK THE BARIUM - IT EMPTIED OUT OF THE STOMACH TOO SLOW. HE FELT I ALREADY HAD PRETTY GOOD RESTRICTION. I AM TO RETURN IN 1 MONTH NOW. UNLESS I NEED ANOTHER ADJUSTMENT IN THE MEANTIME. I AM TO BE ON LIQUIDS THE REST OF TODAY FOLLOWED BY MUSHY TOMORROW AND THEN REG THE NEXT DAY. WAS TOLD TO WATCH PORTIONS AND MAKE SURE I ONLY EAT 3/4 CUP AT MEALTIMES. WAIT 1/2 HR BEFORE AND AFTER MEALS TO HAVE LIQUIDS AND WAIT 4 HR. BETWEEN MEALS. DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND EXERCISE. THEN SIT BACK AND WATCH THE LBS. MELT AWAY. HA HA. I ALSO ATTENDED MY FIRST LAPBAND SUPPORT GROUP MEETING TONIGHT. IT WAS AWESOME. THEY HAD A GUEST SPEAKER THERE WHO SPECIALIZES IN MUSIC THERAPY. SHE PLAYED THE HARP AND SANG AND MADE US FEEL SO RELAXED AND TAUGHT US HOW TO UNSTRESS OURSELVES. SHE ALSO PASED A DRUM AROUND THAT HAD BEADS IN IT AND WHEN YOU SHOOK IT IT SOUNDED JUST LIKE THE OCEAN WAVES. SO COOL. WE HAD TO SHUT OUR EYES AND PASS IT AROUND TO ONE ANOTHER. MET ALOT OF NICE FELLOW BANDERS THERE. GONNA TRY AND GO EVERY MONTH IF POSSIBLE.
