Ok so here I am sitting in drs office waiting on 1st fill. I'm terrified!! I hope this doesn't hurt too bad, I hopes do t scream too loud, and what if I cry? I will try not to look, maybe that will help. Lord Jesus help me

OMG!!!! dont worry!!!! I've heard its nothing! I cant wait to hear details!!!!

yes i want detail too my first fill isnt for four weeks ...please fill me in on what to expect???

We shall see, I hope u r right. Nurse just layed out all kinds of instruments. What have I gotten myself into. Smh

its fine. Just a pinch. It looks worse then it is.

No pain at all just a little tint sting, less than a mosquito bite, if they do it right. I've had 6.

Mine didn't hurt at all. My doc gave me lidacain (or however you spell it) to numb the area first then did the fill. It didn't hurt one bit, only a little sting.

i never look at the needle. my doc numbs the area with a needle that is compressed air. quick pinch and then i dont feel a thing! no pain. my doc does fluroscopy. hope your fill goes well!

As long as your port has not fliupped, it is easy peasy.

My fills have never hurt. It's just like getting a shot and once it's in the port you don't really feel it because it's insite plastic. I don't understand why they feel the need to numb the area .... that's a shot too. It may just be a mental thing to make the patient feel better about the fill, but it's not really needed. Oh, by the way .....it's Lidocaine (I use it daily at work)

I am due Tues for my first fill, Im glad too as i think I can eat maybe a little too much? not gained but not really lost anymore. but after 24 lbs every body can see the difference already so --slow and easy- I am good with that.

I don't understand why they feel the need to numb the area .... that's a shot too.

My doc uses a gel to numb the area, not a shot.

I had my first fill this morning. The doctor swabbed the area around the port incision to sterilize it, numbed me up, and then before I knew it he was done. He was able to put 2.75 cc in today. I go back in five weeks for my second fill. I'm excited to see how I feel after just this little bit added to the band.

ROFLOL.....WOW THAT'S IT???? I was scared for nothing...I felt nothing at all...he sprayed this really cold numbing stuff on my stomach and then he said "see, that didn't hurt now did it?" I was shocked b/c I didn't even know he had stuck the needle in. I mean i felt NOTHING>>>>no pinch, no sting, nothing....yea me...and he put in 3/12 cc's, sure hope i feel something...if not i go back in a month for more...the worst part is now i'm back on liquids for 2 days..that sucks.....

Glad it went so well!!!!

glad it was easy for you!!! hope it will be that easy for me too
