12-04-2007 / first fill
So I went ahead and weighed myself this morning for the first time since last Thursday. As I suspected I was up 2lbs. I went to the doctors and the scale was the same as it was 3 1/2 weeks ago.
As I stated I was nervous about getting a fill. But it didn't even hurt. It's more sensitive now then it was with the needle in me. Right now if I bend over and my pants push on the area it hurts. Kind of a quick stabbing type pain. Hope it goes away quickly. Back to the fill part, I didn't feel the needle go in at all. He did have to "poke" around a bit to find the top of the port. That didn't even hurt. There was just a sensation of movement. He put two cc's in. He said my band can hold up to 14cc's. I'm not sure which type of band I have. I know it's one that was just approved. I think Johnson and Johnson makes it but I'm not sure on that.
I was told to do liquids for the next two days and then return to my regular diet. I got talked to about bread not being one of the foods I should eat. And he said that if I didn't have any restriction after this fill to come in in two weeks and he would put in more. He is actually a real nice guy and seems to be a good doctor (I'm not the biggest fan of doctors). I'm not sure if I have any restriction yet. I can't tell any difference by just drinking so I'll wait and see.
Until next time.....
