Third Fill . . .

Well, I went in today and had my 3rd fill. I was at 2 and he put in .6 or maybe .4, I can't really remember. It didn't hurt as bad - he didn't have to press down as hard to reach my port. He says he can tell I am losing weight! WooHOO!

His office is expanding, and coming to The Woodlands (which is right by me). I am so excited. Apparently, they are hiring additional Dr.s too. He is so busy. I sent in my resume for his new office near me. It won't be up and running for about 4 months. I, of course, only want to work part-time, I want to keep my part time work at home job too.

So, on with the liquids. I hate liquids. Oh well, just a few more days.

I guess I didn't realize the fills hurt...that is great he can tell a difference. And how much fun would it be to work there and be able to share your success with people coming into the office! You certainly know a lot about how it all works!

The shot really doesn't hurt - my port is deep and I don't want him to use a larger needle - so we compromise by him pressing deeper in on my abdomen.

Being on liquids hurts a lot more than the fill!

When i got my last fill, they asked me if I wanted the deadning shot. I was really scared, but they said that it was not that bad to just have the needle put into my port. I tried it and it was much better than the shot. I couldn't believe it. As for you putting in for a job at your drs. office, I think that is amazing. My surgeon has about 4 or 5 women that work for him that have been banded. They are very understanding and can help answer any of my questions or concerns. Good luck and hopefully you'll get the job and the success.

I agree that the liquids are much harder than the fill itself!

My fear is needles - so the idea of 2 shots instead of one, isn't an option! I am a Needle Chicken! My Dr. ONLY hires people that he has banded - so we will see, it will be months down the road, but I really think it would be inspiring to work there!
