Wow, can you believe you have been doing this for six weeks now? You feel great! And people are starting to notice - those pants are falling down in public a lot...
At your next visit to the doctor, you find you have lost 15 kg. Fantastic! You have not had any problems with the band, and you can tolerate pretty solid food now. Time to inflate the band. Oh dear, you didn't realise it wasn't inflated, did you? Well, up on the doctor's couch, and do a half sit up thing while he pushes against your belly, which I may add is still a little tender...
If you open your eyes now you will see this long needle, with that drop of saline hanging off the tip. You quickly shut your eyes again...
The port to inflate the band sits just below the skin of your abdomen. It stings a bit as he pushes the needle in to isn't too unpleasant. Four mils he injects this time. No worries, up you get, drink that cup of water to make sure it goes down okay, and pay your bill.
15kg. Wow! That is incredible and gives you so much hope...false hope....
