Update on fills

I had my first fill last Friday 01-18-13 and it was a breeze. The numbing medication hurt a bit but then again it is going in a very sensitive area. The PA pulled out what saline was in my band from surgery since it was my first fill. We determined I had 5.5cc at the time of surgery and she added .5cc to that. I did the drink test to make sure water passed through without complications. I had no problems. She told me my next fill would be a month down the road.

I left the office a little dumbfounded that it would be so far down the road for a fill. I felt no restriction so I was a little bummed out. However, my doctor has always said that if you don't feel restriction or you are hungry, DO NOT hesitate to call their office. I decided to give it a few days. The week went by without incident.

I decided that with the hunger and no restriction that it was time to call the doctor. I left a message and received a call back within an hour which I felt was awesome. I got the go ahead to have another fill and they were very supportive of the idea.

I have my 2nd fill today and I hope to have some restriction. I will document my journey as it goes.
