FILL SUCCESS!!! (me thinks)

YIPPPPEEEE KIYAAAAAA!!!!

Okay, for those of you who followed by "not so fun" fill saga last week (see thread on "Frickin' Fills") I do believe the Force was with me today!!!!

Dr. Yau found my port right away (by find, I mean stuck it with the needle)....although I had to stand up for him to do it and he said it was very tricky...it has re-positioned slightly so that it is a wee bit angled. He is my hero for having got it!

BUT....get this....on 1 Jun (first fill) I had 5 ccs put in (by nurse) and a few days later I had another 2 put in (by Dr. Joffe) because I was feeling no restriction for a total of 7 ccs. OR SO I THOUGHT!!! Today, Dr. Yau pulled it all out to check and I only had 2 ccs in there!!!! (not 7!!). NO WONDER I had no restriction!!! We figure that the nurse actually missed the first fill and it went into netherland and not my port. OKAY, so today he put in 4 ccs....giving me a total of 6 ccs. I sat in the waiting room to drink my Water and was having a tough time but at least I felt SOMETHING!!!! whooo hooooooo! But I was quite uncomfortable just sipping Water so he took out 1 cc....leaving me with 5 ccs (what I was SUPPOSED to have on June 1st!!). So, I'm basically where I should have been on 1st of June...but for real this time!!! I'm just so dang happy that I feel something! I don't know if it will end up being enough or the sweet spot but I have restriction!!!! (I think....I won't be trying food for a day or so...but I do feel "something" with the water).

The next time I have a fill though, the Dr. wants me to go to the hospital he works from and have it done under x-ray....just so he can have a looksie. I don't mind....I have something now!!!! The "feeling" is no longer a mystery to me....(I don't think!).

hehehe...yup, I'm happy.

BTW, I met a fellow LBTer there today (Loriely); she was having her surgery this afternoon...I also met her husband....(he is having surgery in Aug)...it was kewl to meet them.

Anyways, okay...just wanted y'all to know that there was a happy ending to my fill saga, after all.

....hmmmm....now if I can just remain a PB virgin!!!!!

It was kewl to meet you and your husband too Yoda. It's great to actually meet people face to face that you know from here and share experiences. Loriely is home safe and sound and no worse for the wear. She is a little tender right now, but will bounce back to her normal self in a few days.
