1st fill - details

[CLOE 0]

Good Morning, Good Morning! (I feel like those Viagra commercials) I HAVE RESTRICTION!!!!! Yes, it worked. Went yesterday for my first fill, I wasnt nervous until I saw the needle, Holy Hell!! Anyway Dr. Cobourn has such a great bedside manner that he could have come at me with a jackhammer and I would trust him totally. My port had moved a bit so he had to try a couple of times to get it, but it really didnt hurt. When he did hit the port I could feel him hit it (it was weird). Then he put the saline in I could feel the sensation from the port right up into my throat (that was even weirder). I could drink the Water afterward but it felt different. This morning I ate cottage cheese, I really had to eat slow and had to stop way before I would usually stop because I was FULL!!! I Love this Band, I Love Dr. Cobourn and I Love life TODAY!!!!! How's that for a story....Oh ya, I also had a little caffiene this morning too...hence the drama...:drama:

Hey Cloe,

Thanks for the post, I have my first fill scheduled for Wednesday of this week and I'm a bit nervous. I've already seen the needle though, they actually gave me my needle that came with the band pack at the hospital. I took it to my surgeon. Glad that things are going well for you!

Hi Cloe,

Glad everything well for you, i have to make an appointment for my first fill and i have to say i was nervous about it. You have made me feel more comfortable now about getting it done. I hope i feel as good as you do after i get mine.

I'm glad your experience was a positive one. I think I was more afraid of the fill than the surgery but I've had 2 now and it's really no big deal. I got restriction on fill #2 so ENJOY!

That is AWESOME Cloe!! Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

How was the trip home on Fri up the 400? Uneventful, I hope!

So, my friend, you and I are sorta at the same point! I went out to dinner last night and I had some poached eggs....and a bite of soft toast with jam on it. YUMMY. I'm not so sure if I was "full" afterwards but I didn't eat much but I think it was more out of fear than being full!! I'm reallly paranoid right now to eat much anything solid....!!!

Anyhoooo, way to go!!!
