First Fill

I had my first fill. It's a bit of a bigger pinch than when you are having blood drawn but not so bad. I went on you tube and saw a fill being done so it prepared me more. That needle is awfully big! LOL. He felt around for the port and asked where I was hiding it. So I joked "You're the surgeon where did you put it?" It's nice having a doctor with a bit of humor. When he found the port he had to move the needle around a bit which felt incredibly weird. Removed all the fluid and then to show me what too tight would feel like replaced a lot and told me to drink water. I told him I didn't have to because as he tightened it I felt a wave of dizziness, not pleasant. So he removed it and proceeded with the rest of the adjustment. I was a little sore at the spot the day of and today but that's it. Finished yesterday on clears, today full, mushies tomorrow and then he said to enjoy the weekend. I'm still early on but I have to say this has been a wonderful experience. Plus I'm down 35lbs.
