Week 6- first fill


Well Friday May 15 was my 6 weekiversary.

I have lost 27 1/2 lbs.

Today was my fist fill and they put in 3cc's into bandito. They started by numbing the area and they put in a longer needle into the port. Once they put the needle into the correct location, you have to sit up and drink water as they inject the band with fluid. It's the craziest thing- you can feel the restriction tighten as they fill it. And as you drink they adjusted it compared to how it went down. I thought 3 cc's was a lot but Misty got 5cc's her first fill. Hope it was enough.

For about an hour or two- I thought i was choking and I wouldn't be able to eat. I guess that was my little pain attack for the year. So it's clear liquids for a day then soft food for a day then it's anything with control.
