first fill and down 30 lbs!

[bandster12345 49]

I had my first fill today - 4 ccs. The actual fill wasn't painful, but finding my port was pretty bad. She really pushed and prodded for a good 5 minutes. She had me reposition myself a few times over the roll pillow, do belly laughs, push my stomach out, and lift my head off of the table to try and push the port closer to the surface. I started to get really worried that something bad happened. She said it was ok, but the port was deeper than she expected. At least I know what to expect next time.

I'm now down 30 lbs since my pre-op diet (started mid-July). WOW!! So proud of myself

I bet you are, well done.

I am due to you for my first visit and possible band fill in a couple of weeks. I had my surgery on 15th August. The surgeon placed a small band in and gave me 4cc during my op.

Im finding that i am able to eat more now and starting to feel hungry particularly when i am due for my evening meal. But feeling really good now.

I am feeing a bit anxious about my first fill though.
