well i had my first fill yest. was instersting lol. thank goodness i really didn't know exactly what he was going to do because i would have been a basket case lol. i have a dislike for needles. we talked and then he took us back to the fill room. i looked over and he had the needle and syringe and i told myself to look away and look away very fast!! gretchen (my nurse) told me to lay on the table with the pillow under my back. no biggy really. i had to do the crunch position. i had to laugh because he told me to cross my arms across my chest and start to do a crunch. nice...if i could really do a crunch would i be over weight??? lol but i did it. he did have a proble finding the port. i didn't watch him either. looked at the ceiling, at gretchen and then look at his face. he was looking off like he was deeeeep in thought. what i didn't realize till my hubby told me later is that he was taking the needle up and down. ok thats the part that makes me cringe :thumbup:. he did the 4 cc fill and i drank my Water and was on my merry way. i got back in 6 wks to do another fill. and i have no earthly idea why i took it upon myself to go to youtube and look up lapband fills. holy cow batman!!!!! i could only watch 2 and that was more then plenty for me. usually stuff like that doesn't bother me one bit- it's not me lol. last night and today i am on liquids. i am sore and just feel blah. it's rained here off and on all day so maybe thats part of it. but i just keep chugging along doing my thing. :)

lol sorry about that. the initial poke of the needle yes but nothing else hurt. was uncomfortable but didn't hurt. it reminded me of giving blood...just in a semi crunch position lol.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
