I had my first fill on Saturday. It didn't hurt very bad at the time. However, since last night I've been having pain near where the port is. It feels like muscle pain, kind of like after surgery. When I sit up or stand up it hurts, and it also hurts when I bend over. Is this normal, or should I call my surgeon?

Yes it's normal. You'll experience pain in that area from time to time. Just keep taking it easy and following your doctor's orders. Continued success

I had a fill 3 weeks ago and had that pain. Went away after 3 days. But very painful!

I had my first fill today. I have pain up toward the top of my right side. I feels like when you get a catch. Is this from the fill as well or just a coincidence?

I've never had pain like that after a fill. I've had 3 fills. I'd call the office before the holiday weekend starts.

I agree with justwatchme! Call the dr. It's a long weekend. I had my first fill two days ago. Yesterday around the port area it felt like I had done too any crunches. Today that's gone and no pain or discomfort at all. Good luck!

Do you think it's just because of the injection? Just curious, I have my first fill next Tuesday and not sure what to expect, although I realize everyone is different.

It could be from the injection. Everyone reacts differently. I was actually more nervous about the fill then I was the surgery!! For me all I felt was some pressure from the RN palpating the area to find the port. I couldn't believe how easy it was: ). I found out I have a 10 cc band and was given 4.5 ccs Wednesday. I go back next Thursday for another one. You will do great!!:)

The pain is gone now. I think I really just had a catch in my side but I was not sure. Thanks for the advice.
