Hi guys, just a quick check-in here! Wanted to let you know that I got my first “fill” (where they fill my band with saline to tighten it) on Tuesday March 4th. My band can hold 10 cc’s of saline. They filled it with 4 cc’s. So really, not even half. But my doctor wants to see how my weight loss goes and if he feels like it needs to be tighter, I’ll go back to Northside to get it filled again. Unfortunately, as I said in my previous Blog, my doctor couldn’t fill up my band for some odd reason, so I had to go to the hospital to get it done. It was kinda cool because I got to see a live X-Ray of my band and port while they were filling it. They said my port was kind of turned to the side and that might have been why my doctor couldn’t fill it in his office. Nothing serious, just inconvenient.
Since my band has been adjusted, I’ve been feeling pretty well except my stomach’s been hurting a lot and I’ve been more tired. Could be that gross stuff they made me drink? Or just my body being like, “Hey…what just happened??” But either way, I’m just trying to suck it up. I’ve been really good about working out. I went to the gym at 1AM this morning and just went again about an hour ago. I could only do about 25 minutes of cardio and some weight lifting till my stomach started to hurt. Oh well. Better than nothing!
Will keep ya’ posted. Have a great day.
