I am home from getting my first fill

I was really nervous about getting a fill and it was not hard at all. He put in the numbing shot and I did not feel a thing. LOL...maybe that will change when I lose a little more weight and there is not as much fat! The needle he used was L*O*N*G!!! :thumbup: My suggestion is look at the ceiling, do NOT look at the needle. But in all honesty, I did not feel a thing so I am totally pleased with that! Now I am back on a liquid diet for a few days, which is fine with me. If that scale starts moving down some more, I'm all for that! :thumbup:

Thanks for sharing!!! I get my first fill next tuesday... i'm excited and nervous at the same time..I'm a nurse, and you know nurses make the worst patients...lol

I'm excited hoping that it will help my hungry tummy. My surgeon doesn't do the first fill until 12 weeks post op. So believe me, i am ready!!! I've been steadily losing, but have a lot of hunger!!! Good luck girl!! Keep up the good work :frown:
