Am I alone here? My first fill hurt!

I went for my fill thinking it would be along the lines as receiving an injection, or getting blood drawn. I almost came off the table when the needle went in because it really hurt. Did anyone else have an experience like this. I do know that he did not enter at the correct site, but was able to find the right site by moving the needle without having to restick.

I have never before had a low tolerence for pain, and am now very apprehensive about the next fill.

Wait, so why the f*** did I get the band? Did my stomach just want an accessory?

I LAUGHED out loud at that remark I think I will use your line tomorrow if the dr. gives me some slack about gaining...but them I get scared he will say ok and fill me to the max :girl_hug:

I was banded 8/22/8 I got my first fill today without numbing. It stung but not unbearable. Luckily he found the port quick. The sound and pressure feeling bothered me more than the pain. I couldn't see what he was doing I don't know if that was a good thing or bad. I go back in two months to do it again.
