6 Week Checkup
May 20, 2009
WOW, I can’t believe it’s been 6 weeks. It seems like yesterday I was praying for a surgery date. I met with Dr. Credi and we talked about my eating habits, how many ounces I was eating and stuff like that. I think that he was shocked that I was only eating the three meals a day, wasn’t snacking and didn’t have anything in my band. I talked to Jessica (Director of the Center) and she told me that he doesn’t put anything in his bands at surgery. WHAT!!??!! You mean, I’ve been doing all this the old fashion way!!??!! *faints*
We also discussed if I was ready to get my FIRST fill. He could have giving it to me today, that’s how ready I am. We both agreed that it was time and he scheduled me for June 3rd. WOOHOO! I was hoping for the 27th, but something about him wanting to take some time off to spend with his family. *Sheesh* LOL 
Then he had me stand up and he checked my port. All is well there. I still have a stitch poking out and as he was coming in the room, he said….She’s going to tell me about that stitch again. I just laughed and told him yep. He didn’t remove it. He wants it to dissolve. I’m thinking if it hasn’t in 6 weeks, will it really. So the next time I see him, I’ll bring it up again, if it’s still there. If it is and he won’t remove it, I’ll have one of the nurses here to remove it for him.
I’m super excited and somewhat nervous at the same time about getting a fill. I’m not worried about it hurting but more about those stories I’ve read about people who have gotten too much of a fill and couldn’t keep anything down. The office has assured me that Dr. Credi is stingy with his fills and that I have nothing to worry about. But it’s a mental thing, I guess. He is such a stickler on not giving fills until after the 6th week. I can’t complain though because he’s an awesome doctor and has taken very good care of me.
Oh and I weighed in yesterday and I lost another pound!!!
