My very first Tightening
I would definitely be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I mean prior to arriving at the doctor's office i wasn't really sure exactly what a tightening was. It had nothing to do with the needle, I was more worried to how i would feel the rest of day, especially since I planned on playing basketball once I left. The visit started pretty much like every other, the nurse calls me in, takes my weight, blood pressure and temperature all were good, I had lost 8 pounds. Then I had to wait for Dr. Schwack. During my I would say five minute wait, so many thoughts were rushing through my head, will i still be able to eat certain things? Will I be told to go straight home? Dr. Schwack comes in and basically reassures me that everything will be fine, tells me good job on the weight loss and asks me to get up on the exam table and lay down and lift up my shirt. He also tells me to do kind of a sit up, he takes a needle puts the liquid in my band and then i'm done. There's was a small pinch of course when he stuck me with the needle, but everything was fine. He told me that for two days i'm to be on a liquid diet and then the next two days the soft food diet and then i'm good to go. I didn't feel any different, And I went on with my dad and went to play basketball at this little park on 60th and York ave. All in all a pretty good day and a successful first tightening, can't wait for my next one.
