Second fill, for real!

May 06, 2009

Today I had my second fill.   It was 3/4 of 1cc.  

I had a can of Campbell's Healthy Request Vegetable Beef soup for dinner (since the doctor said to take it easy the first couple meals after a fill) several hours ago and I'm still not hungry! 

I've been having some discomfort in the area of my port, particularly when I lie on the left side.  Dr. Bard suspects that the pain is from disrupting an internal suture near the port site. I have been coughing a lot for the past 3 weeks and it may be due to that. He said he also felt a hard area near my port which he thinks is scar tissue. This may be from when I overdid it swimming or lifting a case of water too soon after surgery (this is my guess, not his).  So, I'm still sore, but I was told not to worry about it.

The second last episode of The Biggest Loser was on last night.  It really inspires me!  I may not be working out like an athlete with personal trainers like these contestants are, but I am still so proud of changing my lifestyle as a result of the band.  Honestly, I didn't think I could do it.

I've had a few people ask me about the surgery, since they are considering it.  It feels so wonderful to be able to share my story.
