So I have made my appointment for my first fill. :clap2: Thank goodness!!! I am so hungry these days. I feel like I can eat anything (that does not mean that I do of course). Anyway so a fill on the 28th. I hate needles so I am dying to go and just get it done so I don't have to think about it. :paranoid

Hummm I wonder how many times I will have to make nice with the needle before I find my sweet spot.

Also very strange but I read a lot of posts about people who can feel their ports. I can't and I think I have brusied myself trying. I wonder if that is going to make the fill harder. Wonder if Dr. C will have to poke around like an acupuncturist. :welldoneclap: Hope not!

Lucky you. I am hardly containing myself for my first fill. April 24th is much too long. Wish I had the money to go earlier. Let us know how much they give you and how you made out sipping your water slowly. Doddie

Well I got my fill yesterday. As I thought finding the port was difficult. I had to push up the muscles in my stomach (who knew I had those) and take in deep breaths for the nurse to get it but hey at least I know how to find it now. Anyway it wasn't as bad a I thought but I didn't really feel anything because I think I was concentrating so hard on that crazy big needle. Anyway it went well and 5 min later I was up and out of the office. No biggie.

I can feel a difference though. I just had.4 (I think) put in but last night with dinner I was full quicker and I just felt tighter digesting the food. Hopefully I will see some changes on the scale from this but I know that it can take a few fills so I am not going to go crazy expecting big results just yet. I would like my ticker to move though so cross your fingers.

Dame,

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.

Glad your fill went well for you Dame J, you are sure to have more weight loss now.

Well I am going to wait this fill out but I have the feeling that I will be going back soon enough for another. Feeling back to how I was before the fill. Not pushing things though cause I do not want to have another bad sticky episode like a couple weeks ago.

I know what you mean. I feel a bit of restriction, but I can still eat more than I should, and I have been feeling hungry again. I already have a fill booked for April 13th so hopefully that will dial me in a little.

I would like to make another appointment but I feel like I should wait. Well I think I will give it till next wed because then it will be a week and if nothing still by then I will go back and see about another fill.

I want to hear about this "restriction" that everyone keeps talking about.
