First fill today

Hi everyone. Hope all my fellow March Bandsters are doing well.

Well, at first my Dr. didn't want to give me a fill because I "was doing great", he said. WELL.....I don't think being hungry all the time is so great and my will power is running very very short I told him I wanted/needed a fill so......... he gave me a little fill (fewww I felt bad going against his opinion but I know me and I know I NEEDED IT! ). Oh he also said he usually doesn't do fills this early when the patient is doing so well, he compared it to a horse race. "You don't need to whip the horse if it's in 1st place." I guess that makes sense. I Don't know the exact cc's he put in.

The only thing that hurt was the stupid numbing shot! OUCH! It burned like hell! When he actually did the fill I felt just a tiny bit of pressure on the port but no pain. I did feel the saline go through the tubing. It was an odd feeling. Lasted about 1 second and I guess I could "feel" the coldness of the saline. Then half a second later it was done. He made sure I could keep down water before I left the office, which I did and then off to work I went. I do feel less of the starvation feeling so I guess it is working. I know it is going to take a couple more fills but I needed something now!
