I am set for May 3, 2013. Is anyone having Surgery In May?

I havnt had my first fill yet either, 2 weeks till my first I'm kinda worrying myself due to the fact I hate needles! Does it hurt? Or do they numb the area first?

I wasn't really nervous about the procedure itself. My fears were that I didn't want any negative results to come from having a fill because I was doing pretty well without it. There is a small "stick" to numb the area then I didn't feel when she did the actual fill. No negative reactions so far. Just reminding myself to keep following the rules! I lost 4 lbs from not eating much the day of the fill. Still down the 4 today so hopefully I don't go back up. Puts me at 22 down since surgery (6 weeks ago) and 46 down since I began the journey the end of January. Can't wait to lose 4 more and be down 50!!

I'm scheduled for my first fill today. For some reason I'm really nervous. I wasn't nervous about the surgery so this is throwing me for a loop. I thought about canceling the appt but have chosen to ignore whatever is telling me to do that and am just going forward. I know it's for the best' date=' not sure why I'm so nervous?? Happy thoughts sent my way would be appreciated!![/quote']

It's piece of cake! It will take less than a minute. I'm going for my second one in a couple of weeks. First fill was really little 0.5 cc and already had 3cc with the surgery, but it didn't give me restriction at all, so probably this one will be a little bit more. I'm not in a rush to the green zone but I'm super stuck with my weight lost and feeling hungry so a little help would be nice

Stephanie, I'm not very fond of needles either but for me the numbing part was worse than the actual fill part. Neither one was particularly painful, less than a bee sting. For my first fill the PA said, "Here it comes . . . getting closer . . . closer . . . there, all done!" I asked her not to do that the next time:)

Lol I wouldn't want them saying that either! I guess it just kind of freaks me out knowing there's some kind of port under my skin that they have to poke and it's my stomach lol I'm sure I'll be ok tho...
