First Fill

[stormy]

So hubby and I drove to Olympia Washington today to get our first fills. We got there in time and found the doors locked. We were both very concerned, since we drive about 2 hours to get there. We waited in the parking lot about 20 minutes and then we saw a dr pull up and found that they were throwing a party for one of their doctors. Thank goodness, they opened up.

They were very friendly, they explained everything well. I was kinda disappointed that we could not watch eachother get our fills. The room was very small so we had to go one at a time. I got 1.6 cc and hubby got 2.6 cc. I felt the tightness right away but when we got home it was gone. She said liquids for 48 hours. On the way home it was tight and I was worried that I would have to turn around because of how I felt. I am glad it settled down. Soup seems to be no problem. They want me to chop up my pills tonight, I am not sure I am going to do that, I hate it. They taste terrible. I dont think we are going to drive there for the next fill. I am going to check on that person who comes to Portland, I just dont have the time to drive there. I just wanted to see the band under flouro the first time to make sure it was ok and it was. Thank goodness. All and all it was a good experience, it didn't hurt at all, it just felt kinda weird.

congrats to you and hubby on your first fill! I agree the first time we always like to see it under Fluro... after that it's like.. OH.. that's it?!?! OK.. well now I can go locally. Here's to some restriction but remember if it doesn't happen now it WILL happen. See you tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to my first fill and I'm doing flouro for my first time for the same reason. I'm so glad to hear your story and to hear that everything went smoothly.

Keep posting how you're feeling this next week.

I wonder if by Monday I dont have any restriction, should I call them back and get another fill. They told me to call them if that happens but I really dont want to drive down there again. how long do you wait to get the second fill?
