First Fill & it HURT

Well so I finally had my first fill. It was different..and it HURT!

First off my Dr's office left me sitting in the waiting room for an hour and 15 mins because someone forgot to pull my chart. I guess I should of said something sooner but everyone else had been sitting in the waiting area longer then I so I just figured my Dr was running late.

I gained 6lbs of the 12lbs I lost back. I hate that but the Dr assured me that it is completely normal and to not sweat it. She started off by pushing all over my stomach trying to find my port (it is attached to my abdominal muscle with stitches). This is what hurt so freaking bad. She had me coming off the table with pain. I'm still really sore from the surgery. It was not fun.

She found it so now it's time for the needles. Did I mention I HATE needles. I asked for some numbing medicine...I really didn't want to feel this huge needle in my abdomen. She stuck the needle in and had a hard time finding the port. She must of stuck me 7 different times and kept readjusting the needle. Thank goodness I couldn't feel any of it. She finally decided that she needed a longer needle. She moved from a 4 inch to an 8 inch needle. She hit the port very first try. She stuck it straight into it.

She filled me up 2cc's and put me on liquids for 3 days. I have lost 4lbs since the fill so I guess something is right. I still can eat bread (everyone says you can't once you hit that sweet spot) and I am still hungry in between meals. I am going back from another fill on the 12th but I think I am going to push it up since I do not have much restriction if any still. The good news is the scale is going back down now though! :)
