3rd time lucky!



Recommended Posts

Just been along for my first fill! Had to wait ages for the doctor to turn up which was bad as i was getting so nervous.. so anyway it finally comes round to my turn and i'm shaking like a leaf ( i know.. i'm a wimp..) and then i laid down on the bed and he pressed around a bit to find my port. Once he had found it he cleaned the area then produced this HUGE needle :faint: . He pressed around a bt then put the needle in.. i must admit it did hurt a little bit but not terribly painful then he took the needle out and asked me to stand in front of the flouroscope thingy and i had to drink that discusting stuff and he watched it go down through the florouscope (sp?!) and declared that my band was still wide open! So back i went to the blooming table then he cleaned the area again then poked the needle in again (which actually hurt less that time!) then i repeated as before but this time when i drunk the stuff it didnt go through the band at all so it was much too tight! sooo .. you guessed it!.... back i went to the table and needle poked back in and he took a tiny bit out and then when i stood in front of the flouroscope and drank the yukky stuff it went through just right.. a very small stream so i was very relieved! Phew! he first put in 1cc then upped it to 2 but it was too much so he took out 1/2 a cc then he was happy. so i have 1.5 cc at the mo.. To be honest i prefer that he checked it out there and then instead of just doing the one injection and sending me away wide open.. this way its kinda more accurate! Lets hope i see some results!! I'm on my way to looserville! whoop! :dance:

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
