I haven't had my first fill yet and am nervous of it hurting

Just had my first fill today. He literally said "quick prick" and I felt a stick a little like a steroid shot then nothing as he placed the Fluid in. Then he had me drink the barium fluid to test my restriction. It was so cool to see the liquid hit the pouch then funnel through a small straw size opening. Crazy!!! And NOOOO hunger at all today. Just sipping Clear liquids for today and tomorrow before full liquids Sunday.

My doc does the fluoroscopy each time I get a fill. He said I should see a huge drop in weight over the next two months if I follow the rules. Soooo ready for a lighter healthier summer!!

Had an adjustment today, 6cc was too tight, I couldn't drink water without extreme pain. The Dr took out 1cc, and I felt instantly better. Had no pain, just a quick prick.

Ladies I will tell you what I do when I go in for a fill and I'm a bigtime needle phobe! In my mind I step back and look at the big picture as to WHY I have to go through the needle stick and also it's one more fill getting me closer to my "sweet spot" which I think I just hit this past month. When you go in and lie down, close your eyes and go to your "zen" place...mine is sitting on the beach at night. If I close my eyes and concentrate I can hear the waves of the ocean...actually by the time I close my eyes and start thinking about the ocean, it's over! Try this, it works! I have had six fills and done great each time using this technique....

Am I the only one who gets fills standing up? For those of you who are worried you are way over thinking it. My doctor does not numb you and I barely feel it. Just don't watch and you will be fine.

I lay down and raise my legs off the table, which pushes my port closer to the surface. No pain at all.
