My first fill...

:tongue2:Okay so on Saturday September 18, 2010 @ 9am, I had my very first fill.

 

Now before I get started with the really short story, let first tell you I waited in the lobby for 15 minutes before my appointment.

 

Okay so I was called back, weighted (total of 43.9lbs. in 6 weeks) I laid flat on the bed, then my doctor came in, (I got to keep all of my own clothes on!) He explained to me that he was going to give me a shot of litocaine (mind you it was in a diabedic needle) and I didnt even feel him give me the shot. He explained that he was going to put the other needle that was attached to the 3cc of saline solution in... before I got alright out of my mouth, he said, "Im in!" I didnt feel it either!

 

He push the plumger of the neddle in and all I could feel was this,weird squiggly feeling..! I would imagine its what a mother feels when she feels her baby move inside of her.

 

Just like that, I was done and out of there. In a matter of 5 minutes, my band was full and I was back in the car and leaving right at my actual appoiontment time!

 

So, really there is nothing to be scared of and its completely PAINLESS!!!!

 

Best of luck and prayer to all!:thumbup:

Wow, that is wonderful! I know that I was so scared. (I just had my first fill last week.) I did just fine until the doctor felt the need to "show" me the needle. However, it was just a slight discomfort. Nothing at all to worry about. Best of luck. I have notice a huge difference with not getting nearly as hungry as I did before the fill.
