5.25 cc - Another Fill

Went in for another fill today... 10/05/10. I wasn't sure I needed a fill because I am so close to my sweet spot but I wanted to "piggy back" off my last fill appt two weeks ago. (you get a free fill within 2 weeks of your "paid" fill)

Call me cheap.. but I wanted to save $75.00. : )

Went in... and they added .5cc to my 5cc filled band. (.5cc is the most they will add per appt at this stage) I drank some water, it went down pretty good. The Dr took out the fill needle and I was about to leave the room... when I could suddenly tell that the liquid was not moving. Saliva started filling my mouth and I realized that .5cc was going to be to much. I felt bad but I asked the Dr to take out .25cc. Back on the table I went and she got out another needle. I felt guilty making her do it again but I am really not looking for an emergency unfill later on tonight...

It feels pretty good now. I am hoping this fill will take me through the holidays. I guess we will have to see.

Liquids for the next 24 hours. And then I'll see how I am doing. I have a good feeling. :)

I'm at the exact same spot you are Heather---I may need .25cc's taken out --but I'm going with it for now!

Good Luck!

Glad you realized it was too much before you left the office!

Better to be guilty then hurt yourself with an overfill. Good for you.
