I'm such a baby. I was so scared to have my first fill. I told the surgeon I was more afraid of getting the fill than I was of having the surgery. I HATE needles.

Well, it didn't hurt! Let me say that again, It Did NOT Hurt!!

So for any of you other babies or scaredy cats out there, like me, I thought I would pass this along.

First fill today and it DID NOT HURT! Yes, I'm dancing!

woot!

that's so awesome to know and such a relief . My friend got her first fill yesterday and she told me it didn't hurt (mine is not scheduled until Aug 19th). However she also knows I'm a real big baby :ohmy: and am more afraid of the needle than I was of the surgery (kept saying I was going to have to fake my mind out or something cause I didn't know how I would get through it)...

I'm so glad to hear that, just had surgery July 23rd and have been worrying about the fill. I look at my incision and just can not imagine a needle going in there, :scared2: Thank you for posting.

Certified scaredy cat here and so glad you told us this! Thanks.

banded on june 28th. first fill last week (aug 5th). felt a pinch when needle went in and that was it!! DID NOT HURT!!!! whole procedure probably took les than a minute including drinking water to make sure band was not too tight.

Can't help but still be a little afraid... I was banded on July 28th and am schedule for my first fill on Aug 20th. I thought my port was going to be more towards my side, but when I went in for my 1-week post-op appointment, the nurse felt it in my belly. For some reason I'm thinking it's going to be more painful there than it would be had it been in my side. Eep!

Are you sure your port is directly under an incision? My "port incision" is in my belly button (well hidden, I must say!) and my port is located to the left and above my belly button. When I get my first fill on Aug 16, the needle will not be going through an incision - thankfully - cuz that would give me the heebie jeebies as well - although I bet it would not hurt either way :thumbup:

My port incision is about an inch above where they do my fills. It is about 3" long. It is one of five of my scars. I wish they would have done mine in my belly button so less visible later on.

I'm glad the fill didn't hurt you! :thumbup:

I just had Sx on July 27th, and my first fill isnt until Sept 23...I thought that was a long time to wait? How did you feel after the fill...?
