I went for my first fill today and omg I was so scared. I started feeling some hunger a few days ago so decided I did want to do a fill a small one. Well she tells me to lay down and the I see the needle thought I was gonna pass out that is not a small needle and she didn't use anything to numb me. Then the poke...Wow! I couldn't believe it I didn't feeling anything what a relief. I did not have any pain it was a breeze for me. Just some info for those of you that are going in for your first fill.

Thank you...I was getting worried the way your story started off....I go the 26th for my first one.

I was very worried going to that appointment...lol..I think most of us are because you are getting poked but I so glad it went good so that way next time I know what to expect. Good luck on your fill! Hope it goes good for you.

LOL...I have seen the needle too and didn't know what to expect...haha Nope it does NOT hurt!! I even helped my surgeon with my fill today, I had to hold the saline bottle while he injected the needle into bottle...hahaha! And trust me, I am petrified of needles.

I go on the 26th also, Not looking forward to it for one reason...I still get "charley horse" muscle spasms in my stomach and the doctor asks the patients to do a leg lift so he could find the port. Im just hoping that my ab muscles behave! I hope he gives me a choice for how much he could fill because I often find myself starving, especially when doing more activity.

Thanks for the information and the confidence booster!

My surgeon makes me do a crunch. No leg lift! Usually he uses fluroscopy (xray) for his fills. But my port is visibly seen and you can feel it. So this fill was done in his office. Just make sure your doctor has you drink water after your fill. Being able to get your fluids down is important. My last fill was so tight, it hurt drinking fluids. My first fill was 4 cc's. Tell doctor you want a good fill

My doctor said if I only want a little fluid she would do half a cc instead of 1cc which I really liked cause she gave me a choice. I did have 3cc at surgery put in so now I have 3.5 cc and doing great.

I go for my first fill in 2 days. I was starting to freak out thinking about it. Thank you for the info
