Dr. Smith did my band mid-July. I've had 5 fills so far. The first-Dr. Ferrer did-it felt like I got a shot in my stomach and felt the prick for a couple of days, not painful though. Dr. Smith did my 2nd fill-I felt nothing, great! 3rd fill Dr. Slicho did-took too long and hurt. I had a bruise the size of a tennis ball for 12 days! 4th/5th fill Dr. Ferrer did and no problems. I just felt pressure but no pain. You have had your procedure by now. Hope the outcome was good. Good luck in the future!
