My First Fill
Aug 28, 2009
Well, I finally got it. I got my first fill today! My doctor gave me 4 cc's in my 10cc band! It went great! He felt my stomach for my port, had me raise my head so it would tighten my muscles and he found it. Then he prepped and draped my stomach, and he used a small needle to break the skin. Then he inserted the large needle through the hole he made, and he hit my port right away. I could feel it as he pushed the saline in, and I felt the band tighten. It was such a weird yet interesting feeling. It was as simple as that. It didn't hurt. They didn't numb it, which was fine. Dr. Lewis is so good at what he does. He was even joking around and making me laugh because he knew I was nervous. So I've had some water, a very small amount of protein drink, and 1/2 cup of beef broth. I've been full since I had my fill. My stomach is starting to growl now, so I might have some more broth or some hot tea. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my fill and I think this will work for awhile. I have another appointment scheduled in 6 weeks if I need a tweak. I'm so glad this first part is over with--I was so nervous, but now I know I was nervous for nothing!
