Chris,

I know you've been waiting what feels like forever for today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well for you. Keep positive and remember to talk to your dr and team about what's going on besides weight loss. It's not all about pounds but also about how you feel.

Let us know how it goes for you.

THANK YOU! I am really ready for today . . . and have my fingers crossed . . . the weight hasn't been changing so I think I might actually get the fill this time! I'll let you know later on. :pray2:

Chris

I got my fill! Ok . . .it's a small one . . . he had 3 cc in my 10cc band . . .and backed it off to 1.5cc because I was burping as I was drinking my Water .. .I go back in a month for a possible 2nd fill. He had a hard time finding the port .. . and even made the comment that I might be one of the sonigram people . . . but after changing the needle and starting again (ughhhh) . . .he got it . . . trying to sit up while the stupid needle is stuck in you isn't fun either. Anyway . . . I hope this help and gets things moving in a DOWNWARD fashion! :tt1:

Chris

Good for you. If nothing else, it feels like progress. My PA had trouble finding my port also....she said it was really shallow and I didn't have a fat layer over it. I had to giggle...I have fat everywhere but where you expect it I guess. She said she was actually in it the whole 10 minutes she was fishing but that she must have been backed into the wall because it wouldn't do anything.

Did you have any fill from surgery. I had 3 cc's I believe. PA said it was to help seat it as it healed and then she added some. I'm not keeping track of my total fill level. I figure it doesn't matter how much I have in there, just how much good it is doing.

I'm sure you're much more relieved than last appointment. Keep telling us how you're doing.
