Hi everyone,

I am starting to get really nervous about my first fill, does it hurt? I have the lowest pain threshold going.

Have you ever had anything waxed? Legs, bikini line, eyebrows? If you have then you have willingly suffered far more pain than there is having a fill.

I was worried when I had my first fill too and when my Dr. was done I didn't even know it. They will numb you up before and you won't feel a thing.

You had surgery and have a band wrapped around the inside of your stomach and a port sewn to your ab muscles......I think you will do just fine with a little pin prick. At my clinic, they do put some freezing in if you request, but really, it is a pin prick. We women go thru alot worse to look beautiful. Good luck.

Just had my first fill yesterday and felt similar to you. The procedure itself did not hurt - numbed first. I did feel him pushing inside a bit to locate the right part of the port - it felt strange but not painful.

I freaked out a bit when the nurse told me I had to go back to clear liquids for 10 days - she acted like I should have known this from the dietary guidelines! I explained that I had MEMORIZED the dietary guidelines and fills were not addressed at all. I spoke to the Dr and he said that was not necessary - a few days of liquids and then soft foods as tolerated. After reading more about others fills, I decided to take it easy yesterday with clears and progress to full liquid today. No problem at all.

You will do great!

Oh wow! 10 days I had mine done all good, I didn't have to alter my eating at all!!!

I felt a small poke and that was it. She had me put my hands behind my heard and do a small crunch then she felt around for the port, then poke! No problem at all. She said liquids for two days.

They can give you a shot of lidocaine if it's really painful to you. The needle really is a tiny prick. Really. It's nothing.
