Ok, so, technically it is Friday but basically I was too excited to wait until Friday night to try this out so I went ahead and infused about half an hour ago and well... it was pretty interesting! It was kinda uncomfortable at first. Inserting the needle was definitely was worst part but it certainly hurts a lot less than I had imagined it would. When I first started the flow after connecting the IV to the inserted catheter, nothing seemed to happen then there was a slight stinging. If I didn't know what saline was made of or that salt stings, I probably would have panicked but I tried to ignore it the best I could. After about a minute, I started to notice the swelling start and I really got excited cause I was starting to think I might have done something wrong. By the end, the stinging mostly stopped and after I pulled the catheter out and started to treat the wound, the stinging basically stopped altogether. That's my first impression, second impression after infusing 250ml, WOW! I didn't think it'd be so noticeable! The weight is kinda odd but far from uncomfortable. The skin felt a tad hard initially but by now, its soft, supple and very smooth. I carefully applied some of the lotion I ordered that had cocoa butter, shea butter, vitamin e and a bunch of other stuff that seems to go with helping skin stay soft and elastic. I made sure to not apply any on or too close to the bandaid. Overall, I like it! The sensation after infusing is very pleasing and the extra heft is pleasant. I'll certainly be infusion on a weekly basis, I might even try 500ml next time!
Here's some pictures, they're not fantastic (my phone had died in an attempt to try to record the process so I don't have a video to show) so I took some pictures with my tablet, which probably has a better camera anyways. Its a Nvidia Shield K1.

of course it's noticeable! We sometimes talk about how to hide it after we get big. I just stay at home and enjoy the results.
