I went down to Mexico yesterday for my first fill! Everything has been great with the band so far except that I've been able to eat more and more since surgery!

 

Fill time!

 

Traffic was bad so I had to drive quick on the empty parts, but I ended up getting there on time.

 

And having to wait because the xray room was backed up.

 

I had only had a Boost shake and coffee all day (liquids only on fill day!), and I was very nervous so... after they stuck me with the first needle (which didn't hurt) I nearly passed out. Tunnel vision, couldn't feel my legs, hearing was fuzzy.

 

I had to sit down and wait nearly two hours before I got another shot in the room.

 

I did better the second time, the sweet nurse Sergio held my hand the entire time (I think partly to make sure that he was nearby in case I went down), but man am I glad that I didn't see the needle... it was about 6 inches long. Literally. :thud:

 

So I got my fill and drove home!

 

It kind of sucked, but really didn't hurt, so I no next time to drink more calories before my appointment, and just that I don't need to be nervous!
