Tomorrow is My First Adjustment

Tomorrow is my first adjustment. I am pretty scared because I know that they use a needle and insert it through my skin and into my port and then fill my band with saline. The real first adjustment happened while I was still in surgery. Tomorrow will be the first time I am aware of the adjustment. I've talked to other people who have had the surgery and they have told me what to expect. The doctors use local anesthetic to numb the skin over the port area, and as they insert liquid they ask you to drink fluid until you can't and then they remove a small amount of the saline to allow you the ability to eat and drink small amounts. I was also told that after each adjustment it would take learning to eat again just like right after surgery.

I'm excited for my adjustment because I am hoping that because I will have more restriction again that the numbers on the scale will continue to fall. I would like to lose fifty pounds by Valentine's Day. So I really need to see those numbers drop continuously.
