My First Fill

Well, I drove 60 miles to Scripps in La Jolla to have a checkup with my surgeon, Dr. Bhoyrul. I was not sure if I was going to get my first fill or not (I had surgery on April 7th!), due to my port being very sore last doctor visit. I was kind of down, because I have been stuck loosing weight and fighting my appetite. I was SO GLAD to get a fill :smile:. I have the best surgeon ever. He takes out the fill needle (I did not look at it) and fills it with saline. He tells me to put my hands by my side and raise my head up. He takes the needle and sticks it into my port (OUCH!) Some blue dye comes out when there is enough saline. I believe he said 2 CC. It hurt but he hit the spot and done...in seconds! Talk about a PRO! :wink2: I have been able to be brave, because I trust my surgeon.

I need to work on my exercise program now (no excuses). My port is fine and will start back with the elliptical and the weights. I will do push ups against the wall, to work the flabby arms!

The weight loss journey continues......
