My first fill!

I had my first fill today.  I found out I have a 10 cc band, the smaller one apparently.  They put in 2.5 cc today.  I was so nervous about it, but everything went fine.  My doctor's office uses an x-ray to find the port and then they make you drink barium and take pics to make sure you can pass things through.  They showed me the picture of my port and the picture of my stomach as the barium went through.  As nasty as it was to drink the barium, checking out my insides was kind of cool.

I'm on liquids until tomorrow then pureed for 5 days.  Bummer to have to go back to these things, but once I get back to solids I'll be there for a while this time!

    Congrats, your doctor sure does a thorough job of it. I have never had a barium with a fill. I hope you have some restriction from your fill.
