Mine doesn't hurt just feel a tiny needle prick its no worse than giving blood or something to me. My doctor does not numb before he does it and has me lay on the bed and if he has trouble feeling the port will have me do a small crunch to make it easier to find.

I have not had a fill yet (1/21) but my Dr said that he puts a pillow under the middle of the back and this make the port come closer to the surface of skin. But assured me that its not painful. Please let us know. Thanks and Good Luck!

Thanks everyone! It went great. There was no meet to be nervous at all. He didn't numb it and it was over in seconds. Monday I will be 6wks post op and down 28lbs. He gave me 1 1/2cc to get started.

I am glad to hear that. I had my lap band done dec 18 2012. He put in a little during surgery so i too am nervous when i go get my first awake fill. So i am glad to hear yours went good! But i am still nervous. Lol

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
