They didn't have me fill anything out, just asked about exercise and what I can eat - if I've had anything stuck, etc (and NO because I hate barfing so I don't eat things that are "known" to get stuck). I told them I was always hungry between meals/no restriction.
I had to lie down with a pillow under my back and raise my head and shoulders up like doing a crunch. The first time, he missed and hit the side of my port with the needle - OMG it hurt so bad I thought I was going to pass out. Then he tried again and I didn't feel anything at all. I now have 6 cc's in a (large) 14 cc band!
I'll say - I certainly DO NOT want any food right now - at all. I'm on liquids for 2 days and that's just fine with me! :-)
ETA: So it's been a few hours and I totally feel like crapola. My stomach is growling and rumbling like you wouldn't believe (or maybe some of you would, ha ha) - we went to the store and it growled and some lady kept giving me nasty looks! I'm not "hungry" but I feel so so weak, like I can barely move. Yucky :-(
Wow! 6 CC's on your first fill. I have no idea how my doc does it, but I do hope I get started pretty solidly. I am so sorry you feel like the icky's!
ReplyDeleteyeah - it's a huge fill! I already had 3 in the band. let's hope this jumpstarts it!
DeleteLala was this your first fill?
ReplyDeletewhy is your stomach growling?
Did you tell that lady to mind her own business?
Yep - It was my first fill. I have no idea while it's growling but it feels like there is wild animal in there! GRR! and no, I just moved on from snarky lady haha.
