| First fill 6 weeks post-op... didn't feel a thing
Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks post-op and went for my first fill this afternoon. Before seeing the surgeon I saw my nutritionist who said to ask the doctor to go conservative on the fill. When I told him what she said and why he said 'Ah, we are going for it' and placed 2 c.c. in my band. I was surprised that I didn't feel a thing. He placed a small pillow on the table so that when I layed back that it would elevated my stomach. He told me to cross my arms over my chest and then act like I was going to do a sit up and hold that position. He then poked my belly area to find my port (which was directly under my port incision) and did the fill. I didn't feel a needle poke, pinch or nothing. I had to ask if he was able to do the fill. Yep, I was done. I then drank a bottle of water to make sure everything went down. Now I'm on clear liquids for the next 24 hours.
I get to go back in 6 weeks but somehow I don't think I'll need it since I wasn't experiencing hunger everyday right now.
