Had my first fill...

On Saturday Nov. 15th, I had my first fill. I must admit I was hoping he (Doctor) wouldn't give me an adjustment because I have been losing at least a pound a week, since surgery Oct 13th I have lost 10 pounds. I did get an adjustment and I have to say it didn't hurt at all, but it was a little uncomfortable because he had the needle in (again it didn't hurt at all) and was trying to locate the area for the fill. The entire appointment was about 15 minutes. I had 2 days of liquid and 1 day soft food and then back to solids. I am at 3cc filled, but I don't feel the resistance I thought I would. I will give it a month and as long as I am losing weight I will be ok, but if I start gaining I will go in for another adjustment. I was sore for a couple of days, but now I feel great. I wish all my band brothers and sisters good luck!:biggrin:
