Im getting my first fill on 5/7/09, is there anything I should look out for? What should I do or expect after it? Please let me know what you have experinced with your first fill. Just a little nervous and scared, I have no idea what to expect.

I lost about 20 pounds the first 3 weeks and havent lost anything after that.

Hi!!!

I remember being all freaked out over my first fill but it is really simple and painless. You have nothing to worry about!

My doctor always numbs me up a bit at my port site and then does my fill. All I feel is a little pressure... nothing of too much discomfort. You most likely won't be able to tell a huge difference (at least I didn't) with your first fill... I have been told it takes many to feel the needed restriction!

I am getting my second fill today... I believe it will put me at 3cc's in a 10cc band. I need more! Ha!

Best of luck to you and congrats on your 20 down!! :thumbup:

My doctor doesn't use any numbing stuff, and I don't think it's needed. The only thing that might hurt is him probing around your port sight with his fingers to find it. Mine was still really sort 4 weeks after surgery when I got my first fill. The needle part didn't hurt at all.

Thanks for all your help, im looking foward to it but really scared. LOL

Don't worry fills are so easy!
