You will be just fine. I am the biggest wimp when it comes to needles but I have to say the person who does my fills makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. Just breath and relax when the insert the (you know what)..

Take care and let us know how it went and how you are feeling. One thing to remember don't eat after the fill.

OK so heres the weird thing...I was given this card to carry to show that I have the band and to keep track of my fills, It says I have a 4 cc band, I asked the Dr. today what size my band was ans he told me it was a 10cc....

He put in 2 cc's and said everything looked great.....

so far I do not feel ay different, how long does it take before you can tell something was done???

Oh, by the way, I HATE that barrium stuff!! if that was all I was ever allowed to have I would be skinner than any movie star has ever been...haha

Christine - Every one is different, you might need a few fills before you feel it at all. On the other hand, you might fill it immediately or three weeks down the road. For me, it took 6 fills to notice much restriction at all. Hopefully you will feel yours right away!

I was crying so much at my first fill my ears filled with tears. Of course, after she was done I felt really dumb becaue it was NOTHING, just the tiniest prick. I was back a few days for an unfull though :)
