First Fill and Post Op Visit 08-04-08
Aug 04, 2008
Well I had my first fill today, wow what an experience.
My doctor had to see how much fluid was in my band from my surgery (June 30, 2008) so he had to draw some out to see where I was. I was about 2 cc in a 11 cc band. So he added 4 cc, to make me about 6cc. So I went out in the lobby to drink my water to see how well the tightness would be. I just could not get the water to go down, it just seem to sit right up top, like I had eaten a whole plate of spaghetti..OUCH. So needless to say my doctor said he needed to remove some of my fill.
So I had to lay back down so he cold insert the needle and then raise up slowly so I could feel the release, well the first try did not work. But the second attempt was succesful..THANK GOODNESS. So he removed a little over 1.5 cc. and I felt so much better.
Weight Loss as of June 30, 2008 from 260lbs to 236lbs and I am down from a size 22 to a 16/18..AND I FEEL AWESOME
