I got my first fill!! WOO HOOOO!! I got 3cc. I'm so excited. I didn't even expect a fill today. I thought he'd make me go home and wait 2 more weeks but nope, he asked if I was hungry between meals, I said yes and he said that it sounds like it's time for a fill. Like I was going to argue?
I laid down, he felt my port. I sat up while he got the needle and such ready. Saw the needle...laid back down!!! He asked me to tighten my tummy muscules, like push my belly out at him. and then just a little poke. I was more suprised the way he pulled that bad boy out of there..YANK! He put a band aid on, asked me to take a few sips of my coffee and wa-la! All done.
Shannon and the P'nut were with me. Riley kept saying "Mommy's getting a shot just like Riley." after it was done she said it was her turn for a shot! She's so cute!
We went to eat after. Well they ate and I tried to drink some milk and eat some soup, chicken noodle minus the noodles. A couple swigs of milk and I thought I was going to lose it! Too too too fast chugging the milk I guess. I waited about 5 minutes and tried a small spoon full of soup...ok. Took a small sip of milk...ok. I was done. That was 2 hours ago and now my tummy is in full growl mode!
Getting fills is nothing! He didn't numb the area or anything and there was no rooting around for my port. Poke, plunge, pull. Nothin' to it!

ReplyDeletePoke, plunge, pull. Yep, that's about how my first fill went too. (Also 3ccs.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, one blog I read talked about getting numbed and stuff. Seemed overly dramatic. I read it and thought "I've had an amnio, this couldn't possible compare."
And it doesn't.
I don't know about everyone else's hospital stay but I got poked about 6 or 7 times, mostly in veins. Fill shots are really nothing.
My first fill was 2 1/2 weeks ago and could definitely tell at first. I can still tell but it's definitely loosened up some. I try not to eat until I'm full, just eyeball what I think is a good small portion, and don't go back for seconds.
So glad he was gentle with you since it was your first time. :)
ReplyDeleteJust got caught up on your blog - congratulations on getting banded AND for getting your first fill today! That's awesome. Glad there was no hmming and hawing about whether to do it or not!
ReplyDeleteCool blog you got here - and your daughter is adorable!

Wow go you on the first fill! And took it like a pro. I am so scared cause my first is on the 11th. I hope mine goes as easy as yours. I am needlephobic so I might wig out a ittle seeing a big needle. Here is to hoping I dont pass out ;)
ReplyDeleteMy first fill is on the 17th, so thanks for putting me at ease. Knowing it's not so bad makes it much easier on me!
ReplyDeleteYeah the fill was nothing & that's exactly what I am feeling after 4cc's - nothing! I hope you have better luck than me :)
