First Fill!!!!

I had my first fill yesterday. It was not that bad... I already had 3 ccs in the band from surgery and they added 1 more cc, so now I have 4 ccs. He had to poke around to get the needle into the port, but it really was not painful. Just really weird pushing and preasure feelings. I drank a little bit of water and was on my way home...

 

I was on all liquids for the day of the fill and on soft foods now.

 

I have my next fill set for 3 weeks.

 

The clinic is moving to a new location next month. In the new location (closer to my work, yea) they will have a gym and pool for the patients. Not sure if it will be free, but it will be discounted. That is really exciting fo me!!!!:smile2: I love to swim and the pool is inside from what I hear.

Glad to hear your fill went well. So glad that I ran across your blog. I'm scheduled to have my first fill after a 7 month hiatus on Monday, April 20th. Even though I've been filled before, I'm a little scared about my upcoming fill. I suppose my weight gain that the nurse will most definitely address will overshadow my apprehension for the fill. Congrats on your first fill! :scared2:
