Has anyone ever had their doctor go through a blood vessel while getting a fill? My doctor said he went through one on my first fill and I'm black and blue. It did not hurt at all just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else? He acted surprised.

Also, does anyone else ever have a hard time figuring out when they have had enough of a fill? I had a super hard time telling when water started going down differently.

Thanks!

Yeah it is common in the stomach area, if you ever take insulin or know someone that does their stomach tends to be bruised near where they inject themselves. Its not common but it does happen as you have many tiny blood vessels running under your skin that we cannot see.

The first fill or two are usually quite small, they are not meant to be the "one and only" restriction, they want to make sure and do it slowly so that you are still getting liquids and things down so you are not in the ER 24 hours later getting IV fluids because you cannot swallow your own saliva.

I had my first fill on August 7 and the next morning the fill site look like someone had socked me in the stomach. It doesn't really hurt, but I have a GIANT bruise. I just assumed that was normal. It still hasn't gone away.

Hi Pianolady...did the bruise ever go away?
