First Fill

I have finally had my first fill!  Yeah!!  I went to the doctor yesterday.  I have lost 11 pounds since having the surgery, and 31 all together.  The 11 pounds has been hard!  But the nurse was very happy with my progress.  She said she wasn't surprised that it has been hard because the band had not had any fill in it and that it has all been me so far, not the band.  She put in 3cc's of saline to tighten the band a little and I can really tell the difference!  My band holds a total of 10cc's and she said most people don't need it filled to more than 6 or 7.  So, I guess it's almost half as tight as it will eventually be.  We shall see how the next month goes!  I go back for another fill in 3 to 4 weeks.
