My 2nd Fill experience
I went to the radiology dept at the hospital for fill #2. I got the same doctor who did my last fill (I really liked him). He was shocked I was back for another fill. He is very aggressive with the fills and tries to get the right fill on the first visit to start the weight loss.
He first checked the band to make sure it was in the right place, he showed me on the xray how it is suppose to look and mine looked perfect. He then decided he would take all the previous fill out to make sure I still had 2.2 cc's, and to make sure I lost none. I still had 2.2cc's which was good. He filled me up to 2.8 cc's, I drank some of that chalky stuff, it went right thru the band, he said "wow, your body has really adjusted to the band". He filled it up to 3.0 cc's, again, went thru pretty fast, so he moved it up to 3.5cc's, thats when it just set there. So he lowered it down to 3.2, again, the stuff just set there. He lowered it back down to 3.0 cc's and it started going thru the band again, a little slower. He decided he would leave it at 3.0cc's. He told me if I am having problems to call him and he might have to take some more out, that I was pretty tight.
So far, no problems. He wants me on liquids for a few days, I am drinking some liquid calories right now (having a caramel light frapocino from Starbucks - YUM). I'm having a hard time drinking it, really full, can only drink about 1/2 of it.
So, time will tell if this is the right fill, but I think it is.:clap2: 180's - HERE I COME. I can't wait to say Good-bye to the 190's!
