Pain with a Fill???????????????

I am 2 weeks post op and my incisions are not 100% healed. I have my first fill scheduled for September 29th. Is this too soon? I hate needles and I'm concerned about the pain and the amount of time it takes? I'm not tryin to be poked and poked like I've seen others. I'm just not havin it. Please help me understand the fill process. :tt1:

That gives me hope. I'm looking forward to it now.

I had my first fill today at 4 weeks post-op. They did it under x-ray and I hardly felt anything. I'm a big baby about needles also but it was really easy!

I just had my first fill today. I was worried about nothing. I went in the Dr. had me lay down then located the port, put a small shot with numbing medication (felt a little burn but nothing uncomfortable), after that I felt nothing. Once he had the needle in he had me sit up and drink some Water, had to do it many times until I felt some restriction with drinking the water, then pulled the needle out and that was it. I am so glad I had a good experience and everything went well.

I am to do only liquids for 2 days and then can go back to my regular diet.

Good luck!!
