My First Band Fill, or alternately, Ouch! That REALLY F!@#$%^ Hurts!

Today marks my second follow-up visit with St. Joseph East.  I'll give you a brief run-down of the whole day. 

Trip to Lexington, met with surgeon, had labs drawn and had my first band fill.

I hope to God that they aren't all like that.

However, I got to see myself x-rayed in real time, so it was almost like a live feed. Remember the cartoons of those x-ray slabs that someone steps in front of, and you can see only their pelvis? Kinda like that. I got to see my own heart beat, and that was cool. Then I got to drink nasty contrast fluid, and that was not cool. But then I got to see the fluid whoosh from my esophagus into my pouch, and then all was right with the world again. Very cool.

But ouch. I'll write later. :(
