My 1st Fill!!!!

By Bandida

· 493 views

My fears have subsided. Why? you may ask....Well, I got my first fill and lived through it!!!:clap2: You don't understand. I am DEATHLY afraid of needles. Yes, that proves how much this band means to me!!!! I hate needles. I cringe just typing the word. I was so freaked this morning even the MD said to me are you going to be ok? So, he checked my incisions, made me lie down and said cross your arms over your chest and scrunch in. I didn't even feel the needle go in. He started to poke around and proceeded to put the saline in 1 whole cc. That was it!!!! I'm glad it's over but I'm also happy it didn't hurt! I can breath now...lol!!! I can say (I don't know if it was mental or physical) I lost my appetite right as he "filled". I felt less hunger then when I went in and I was starving due to only having 8 oz of crystal light and 2/3 of a high protein ensure. It was nice not to be famished!!!!!!!!! :( That was at 11:15am and I just had some wonton soup (about 6 ounces) and I'm stuffed!!! Yeah me!!!!!!!!!

Smooches!!!!:kiss2:
