Hi everyone,
I had my first fill at bristol thg today at 11:30.
So just thought I would let you know how it went!!
So got there waited for 10 mins met a nice girl had a bit of a chat then I was called in, the lady was very nice had a bit of a chat about how I have been doing ect. Then I got weighed and asked to lay on a bed put my hands behind my head and chin on my chest a kind of half sit up. To start with she struggled to get the port in position so for me I have to lift my legs off the table feet together legs straight she did it in a matter of minutes stings a little but very painless.
One thing I was to,d before I went in a lady had on her notes she had 3 ml in her 14 ml band but when they did her first fill they had only put 1 ml in ? So they put another 1 ml in so she had 2 ml in total!! Apparently surgeon's don't always get it exact ...
When I had my op it said I had 4 ml in a 10 ml band, when she checked I had 4.2ml and she topped me up to 5.2 ml which I'm really happy with.
The worst thing for me is liquid foe 3 days at least 1&2 week post op your ill and don't want to eat!
