Fill # 2 And....confusion???

RahRahRah

626 views

I had my second fill yesterday. Pretty much quick in and out. I weighed in at 240 (WAH!! :angry: ) and the assistent said that they tell their agents that losing 1lb a week was normal. Uhhhh..what?

 

SO then I go and see my Dr and he asks how things are going. He and his other assistent look at the band through the machine thing-pretty cool and I drink the gross stuff. He adds a fill and looks at a suspicious red spot I had near one of the laparoscopic sites (its nothing, apparently). He aspirates the needle and then refills with whatever he took out.

 

Drink the white yuck again and then a jaunty "see you next month"..as I walk down the hallway I remember to ask, ok so what am I up to on my fills? And he says, 4cc. Umm again, what?

 

I was already out of there so I didnt stop to question, but I thought thats what I left at last time. I thought in July for my first fill that I was filled to 4.

 

Anyway- I most certainly have a feeling of faster restriction on this one. Pretty excited about it too. When I got in the car I looked in the mirror and the inside of my lips were outlined in the white chalky stuff. Yuck. :wacko:

My surgeon likes to see a 1 lb loss every 7 - 10 days. I was like - - that's it?! So I set my goal higher, at about 10 lbs between fills. I've never had a fill under fluoro, sounds interesting! Just had my third fill this week, and instead of going in more angled towards the side of my abdomen, he went straight through the edge of my port insicision/scar. Hurt like crazy!

I read a forum topic about feeling sick during the fill part (vasovagel nerve, something like that!) so I just concentrate on my breathing. I like your thought about 10lbs between visits. I know its just one day out, but the longer time Ive felt in being satisfied for meals makes me very happy and hopeful.
