Fill Me Up Again And Again And Again

Mar 16, 2009

Okay I was a big baby for nothing.... the fill was so simple and easy....Darlene at the Fill Center is so very nice and patient.  I arrived for my appointment at 1:45 on Saturday and at 2:00 on the dot I was asked to go to the back to be weighed, take measurements and to take my fat percentage. Of course there was paperwork that we went over, but that was pretty painless as well.  Once all of that was over,   (which was about fifteen min.)  Darlene asked me into the fluoroscope room were I laid on the table, she found my port (now keep in mind during all of this we are chit chatting away), stuck me with the needle and asked me to drink the barium liquid.  It was so very cool  because I was able to see the liquid go down to my little pouch. Darlene injected 2cc in my band and she gave me the 411 on how to take care of myself until the next time.  I didn't even bleed when she took the needle out of my pouch.  I was a little upset about that because I wanted to be able to have a badge of courage seal on my tummy so that I could get a little sympathy from the Hubby. I am on liquids until Tuesday and from there I am back to my regular diet. I sat in the waiting room for about 15 min sipping water and once I felt comfortable with the way the water was going through my pouch I left. Now let the weight loss begin again.....
