islandmom 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Well I did it! I got my first fill this afternoon! I was so nervous! :nervous Once I finally found a parking space (good grief ) I was ready to go! Even after I checked in and the receptionist forgot about me and let 3 people that had appointments after me go ahead of me because she forgot to have me fill out some paper work for my "new" chart!:tired So 30 minutes later I was in and anxious (sweaty palms and all)! :nervous After I made it through to "the inside" it went swiftly! Dr. Maese found my port quicky and on the first try and he gave me a 1.6cc fill in my empty 4cc band! I said to him that it seemed like alot and he said yes, it's 1/3 of what it will hold! Oh my!! Then it was off to do the fluro! I stood there and swallowed my barium and watched it go right down and through!! Too cool! He then told me everything looked good, gave me a picture of my fluro and that he would see me in 3 weeks. Excuse me ....isn't that a little soon???? So I am now on liquids for the next 2 days :cry but am ready to get on with it! So all in all it was a good experience and we will see how it goes!!! Wish me luck!

PhotoNut 7 Posted April 20, 2006 Grats on your first fill. It kind of feels like a promotion to a higher rank, doesn't it? hehe That's quite an aggressive fill you got. When you come off of liquids, be sure to take it slow as you re-introduces foods back into your diet. If you have any troubles, don't wait around - get a small unfill.

islandmom 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Thanks, Susan. I really does feel like getting promoted to the next level! Even after my slimfast dinner I still feel a little giddy! I am going to take it slow....want it to go in and go down, not come back up! Thanks again for the support! Kristi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
