I just got my first fill today! I was kinda nervous but I have to say it was fast, easy and not a problem at all. The only thing that surprised me was when my surgeon told me that I could get a fill every WEEK til I felt the restriction that worked for me.

I went into the office, the surgeon talked to me for a bit, I got comfy on the table with my arms behind my head, he felt for the port, found it and marked it with a pen. He then injected a tiny amount of numbing stuff and injected 4cc's into my port. He put a small band aid on and I sat up. He had me sip Water to make sure it would go down and voila! done!

I am sure you'll do fine and after the first fill, you'll know what to expect and wont be nervous any more!

Good luck!

The best advice is to not worry so much..it's usually never as bad as you imagine. Easier said than done I know. My Dr doesn't even numb the area first and it's very tolerable. She gets the needle in..adds saline and then I sip Water, with needle still in and she adjusts according to how fast the water goes down. Once you get thru the first time you'll feel better about it.

I had my first fill yesterday and was surprised at how quick and painless it was - and I'm a wimp. I go back next Monday for fill #2 which they hope will bring greater restriction and more lost pounds.
