I called my doctors office yesterday and lucky for me, they had a cancellation for today at 9am, so of course I took it.
This fill was HORRIBLE though. Granted, the guy was really hot and reminded me of a dark haired version of the guy who plays Alex Carave on Greys, but he really did a number on me. My port is flipped on its side, which is normal and common, so it takes a little bit of "work" to get into it, but this guy actually went through my stomach muscle twice and then went through my scar tissue in which some of it got stuck on the needle and caused blood to get into my saline. After him poking and killing me for about 10 minutes he said he'd get Gina (the PA who I normally prefer doing my fills) to do it.
She came in and re numbed me, and of course as soon soon as she put the needle in a pain shot through my stomach, so she gave me another minute then "went to work". Of course my band wasnt cooperating and a cc decided not to come out, so she was only able to extract about 6.4 cc's. Before this fill there was 7.6. She got all the fluid she could out and put new fluid in and another cc, which would have totaled 8.4, but I drank some of my coffee and felt like there was too much pressure so she took .2 out and left .8 in there.
So after all of the agony and stress, I have 8.2 cc's in my band now. I've been hungry but due to this horrid heat I really dont have any interest in anything (especially since I'm on liquids til Thursday night).
According to their records, I am 6.2lbs down since my last visit on 5.2.10, and 38lbs total. Dont get me wrong, I wont shake a stick at 38lbs but I'm hoping this fill will help me drop another 10+lbs by September 1.
Wow that sounds awful!!! I hope you start feeling the restriction you want.
