Recommended Posts

I am not banded yet July 31st is my date but I watched a YouTube video on a fill and I am a little scared lol. Does it hurt? The needle looks so thick. I'm not going to let a needle change my decision to get it but wow the needle looked thick lmao do they numb the area?

Everyone is concerned before a fill! Once you have one, you're, like, is that all?! Trust me, I've had 2 and was anxious before my first and it was for no reason. Honestly, I don't know if he numbed the area or not but I didn't watch and it was done before I knew it! One difference for me vs others is that my surgeon does all my fills (I've heard some iffy stories from those who get them from nurses, pas, etc.

Don't worry, it's probably the easiest part of having the band!

NO, it does NOT hurt and I have serious NEEDLE phobia; my weekly allergy shot hurts much worse than a fill and I have had a BUNCH :)

I was terrified yesterday! I felt a little inch and then that's it! He goes threw the incision becuz the nerves are all dead and numb on the incision... After the got it in and found the port I even watched what he was doing. I had some air in my tube that he was showing me how he was getting it out and then just pushed the saline in... I did hold the nurses hand tho! Haha he told me alot of the the time with injections it's the medicine that's in the needle that hurts more then the needle itself! And in our case the Fluid is just basically Water and it's not going into us, it's going into the tubing! I promise you'll be ok!

I'm also a needle phobe and its painless. My doc gives me a local anaesthesia first that burns just a little, but I can't feel the fill needle at all. And I have zero pain after its over either.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
