What To Expect With First Fill?

Hi all - just wanted your thoughts on what I can expect with my first fill? I think I might be expecting too much as far as restriction goes....also, I'm such a wimp with needles...does it hurt??

My doctor numbs the area up, and that's the worst part, tiny poke, but the medicine stings for a couple of second. After that, I feel nothing.

Also, absolutely no restriction after my first 3 cc fill. Not much restriction after my second fill of 1.2 cc's. Maybe three will be the charm!

My first was 2cc's and no restriction. It didn't hurt me just a tiny pinch. My doc made me put my hands behind my head and put my legs up like doing a leg lift and before I knew it he was done. My second last week was 3cc's. I have a little restriction but not there yet. Maybe the third times the charm!

My dr had me lay down blow up my stomach stuck needle it did hurt as much as a lot of shots do. Put in 2 cc I could feel a strange tightening in stomach not unpleasant. Sr had me air up sip 3 sips of water no problems. I did get restriction. More on 2 wk. and in green now 4 weeks.

Way easier than a flu shot! it took me 3 fills to a total of 6cc to notice anything...bandster hell

Xavier, I envy you! Here I am still trying for that green zone 13 months out. She gave me a tiny fill today, .1 cc. I wish I could come up to the lady you go to!

No pain, don't even feel the needle. Worst experience I have ever had with a fill was when I spotted a spider crawling across the surgeon's roof while I was lying down, waiting for the needle.
