Sometimes shots or giving blood makes me light headed. (Possibly a bit of phobia) I used to be on the depo shot and was able to do that alone. Is it more painful than that. Do you guys usually take someone with you when you are filled?

Sometimes my husband goes with me just to go but it's not because I need him there. It's not bad at all to me and my surgeon doesn't even numb me first.

I always go for my fills alone. If I don't watch (which I make sure of!), I can usually not even tell when the surgeon has stuck the needle in.

It barely hurts honestly

My doc didnt numb the area and it hurt less then getting a blood test.

I had one fill and drove home 65 mins alone and had absolutely no issues!

I don't think you'll feel light headed since your not gonna lose any blood!

I haven't felt either of my 2 fills. Piece of cake.

nothing to it, just a little pinch, if that.

I also go alone.... In, out, BAM. I'm in there maybe 10 min at the most..... And I'm 10 lbs from goal!! Yay!

If you're really concerned about it, you can always take someone with you the first time just in case. After that, you'll know what to expect and can (hopefully) go alone.

I always go alone; it takes about 5 minutes and I'm in and out; I have a HUGE fear of needles; but the fills do not bother me. ~ good luck ~

I always go alone as well they're really not a big deal.

My mom usually goes with me, but that's because we usually go shopping and do lunch afterwards. You really should be fine by yourself if you have to.

It doesn't hurt. I usually go alone on my lunch break from work

My first fill only hurt when the PA pushes around to find the port. I was 5 wks post op and it hurt for a few days... Not the needle though, just the pushing around.

I go again tomorrow for my 2nd fill! Was supposed to be last Monday but Hurricane Sandy changed that!

Good luck.

Congrats that's great

Thanks Louis!!!!

Should not be a problem, but if you are dizzy, or something, stay for awhile. I don't think they will chase you out. I have seen a lot of people hang around to make sure the fill is not too much, etc. Good luck, Karen
