Today I am 29 days post op and went for my first fill. At first I was not sure what to expect. I saw the needles, saline bottle, bandaids, alcohol prep pads on the counter. When the doctor came in he made me lie down and do a small crunch. He then inserted the needle. It was totally painless!! I just felt the tiny pinch of the needle and that was it. I did not receive any anesthetic before the injection and I definately did not need any. I feel so at peace knowing that the only negative thing about getting a fill is the hour drive it takes me to get to the doctor's office. It only took about 5-10 minutes with the doctor before I could leave.

Attention Stomach Sleepers!!
· belbarr1 · 09/01/10 01:37 AM
I was surprised that I was able to sleep on my stomach a week and a half after my surgery. I am 3 weeks post op now. Its still a little sore at first getting into position but once I get adjusted, I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I would never have thought I would be sleeping on my stomach so soon.
