First Fill

i had my first fill today. it was a breeze, he had me lay down and put my hands under my head and do a partial situp. he pressed for the port and shoved the needle directly in NO PROBLEMS, just the stick of the needle. he then had me set up with the needle still in place and drink water, which was the way to gauge how much saline to put in the band. he had me drink until the water sat in my throat for 1-2 sec and if it then went down without issue then thats how much saline i received which was approx 3cc's. today is a good day i have more restriction and i feel like i will be a success. i wish you all much success in your journey.:thumbup:
