Hi All-

Im nervous about my first fill tomorrow morning. What should I expect? My doc does the 1st fill under fluoro <or however you spell it> :thumbup:. Got the jist on, not eatting or drinking 4 hrs prior. Am I going to be sore afterwards? or just feel tight? My doc also does the "fill diet" afterwards, 3 days of clears, 4 days of fulls, 1 week soft. So that will be fun again! haha. I'm excited, i'm ready to get the weight really coming off, just nervous. Advice?

Hello, I was scared to death when I had my first fill, I feared it more than surgery. My port is located high up on my waist right between the breast bone. My Dr put it their because there is less fat therefore making it easier for the fill. I just had my 3rd one today and have never had to have any numbing meds or any floura (sp). Honestly ,not one has ever hurt, just feels like a needle prick. Only takes about 30 seconds. You will be fine !!! Best of luck on your journey. :thumbup: Paula

My port is up high too. It was nothing, but I did get a numbing shot...just a little sting and burning, then nothing. It was kind of freaky sitting up with a needle sticking out of me while I was drinking the water. I felt just a little pain when the shot wore off...very little pain. It was strange the way it worked with me though. I felt the restriction at first for just a few days, then I didn't feel any restriction for about a week, and then WHAM...good restriction. The only negative thing has been having to crush my meds...yuck! Don't be nervous, be excited. And good luck!!!
