First fills

[staplegater 0]

I had my first fill today :wink:! I'm so happy to have finally gotten one! I got my surgery in MX and the only place that does fills around me was SO busy.

The experience didn't really hurt other than the prick. I was expecting it to take 2 seconds, but when she told me it would be over in 30 seconds I kind of panicked but it was over before I knew it. I was mostly just super grossed out by the huber needle that was sticking into my body. I never even looked because I knew I would freak out, but I could really feel it in there and it was just plain gross. It was kind of like going to the gyno - doesn't really hurt but the whole time you're just squirming and praying for it to be over.

I only got 1 cc and the max for my band is 4cc's. The doc said most people with my band find their sweet spot somewhere around 2, which is awesome because I'll need less fills. She told me that I would most likely be disappointed with this fill. I told her that I wanted her to put enough so I would be happy, but she said that erosion and other nasty things can occur by filling up too quickly and not letting your body adjust. So I made an appointment in 2 weeks.

Right after I went to lunch and had a bowl of Soup and I was soooo full. It was awesome! Even if this fill doesn't work, at least I know what it CAN feel like.
