Afraid to get first fill

I am afraid to say this but I am terrified to get my first fill. I had the surgery on Dec 12, 2007. I didn't have a two week check up but had a one month check up in January. The doctor said that I was doing so well that she didn't think I needed a fill. I wanted to make an appointment for February, but they didn't have anything available until March 13. I have lost over 30 pounds since then I am struggling as to whether I should get a fill yet. All this sliming and PBing scares the crap out of me. I could use a little advice as to what you all think. Thanks alot!:blushing:

I like how the doctor stick this bigggg neddle into you and then tell you to make crunch... it funny and scary watching the needle just floating there.

My last fill was little painful cause the doctor withdrew the fluid already in me and he couldnt get all of it and he kept pushing the needle down to make sure it fully inside port. Then he filled me up... which im still unsure if he put the 3cc and 5cc together but i got some restriction.

The first time My Dr used a needle that was BARLEY long enough. so when I sat up he had to hold it deep in place. I kept having a picture of it flying out across the room. Really hard not to laugh.

Had my first fill today and it was a breeze. No pain - went quickly. Liquids for 2 days, then mushies. Glad it's done and I look forward to seeing the difference in what I'm able to eat (or not eat, as it were).
