Today was my one month follow-up from surgery with the
doctor. I was so ready for this since
this would be my first fill in my band.
Stats:
From pre-surgery diet (Nov 3) through today.
22 pounds lost
Lost 1 inch the whole way down my abdomen.
Lost ½-1 inch on my arms
Lost ½-1 inch on each leg.
At the doctors today we did the first fill. They had me lift my legs while lying on my
back to engage the muscles and then he tried to poke into the port. And he missed, and he missed, and he missed
again. After about 25 pokes he started
to say that there was still to much fat between the port and my skin and we
might have to wait another month and hope the fat goes down so he came try
again.
I was ready to scream.
There is no way I wanted to wait another month to hopefully finally
start the process that I thought would start when I had surgery a month
ago. He decides to try one more time
and finally was able to stick the port. Hallelujah!!!!
So the standard first fill he does is 4cc of saline. If I want more I will go back in a
month. Right now I am able to still eat
and drink fine. I did get full after
less then 2 scrambled eggs today at 11:00 and wasn’t hungry again till 4:30. Hopefully this will start the actual weight
loss that I paid so much time and money to have.
The doctor also sent home a disk with my pre-op pictures
today.
