Just had first band fill
Good Morning to you all,
I went yesterday to have my first band fill and I didnt sleep all night because I was worried as I am not to good with needles.
I was weighed and told I had lost another 11lbs and now lost 3 stone whci made me feel elated as it was the 25th August I had it fitted, then I was told to lay on the table and the consutlant came in and pushed my tummy and then stuck a large needle in 5 times before he found the right place... it was so painful I knew my fears would be founded.
He then decided to scan me and find the port it has moved he said due to the weight loss?
I am only praying now I dont need many more of thse done as I was so upset by the pain and last night I was very swollen in that area.
He put 5cc in then I had to drink this stuff and it wouldnt go through so he took 2cc out and it was done, I now have 3 days on liquids then 3 days on pureed foods so I am hoping that there will be a difference by. I alos have to go back in 2 weeks incase they want to out more in but the nurse will do that. I am told it is only the first fill that is done by scan to check the band is all right?
I hope you are all doing well take care Dianne
