I am going tomorrow (3/24/09) . I also had the same fear of getting my first fill and it being painful. Boy was I shocked ! No pain at all .I was so easy !! only one thing you need to know is that the needle is a nice size and if you have a fear of needles just dont look at it . I promise it does not hurt . I am a ninnie baby when it comes to needles, please dont be afraid it is very easy!!:frown:
