It didn't hurt but it was uncomfortable. I was numbed and he was pushing on my stomach hard to find my port. I had a bruise after.. No biggie I'm ready for more

I've had four fills.... none of them hurt. My doctor numbs the area first. The numbing needle is so small that I don't even feel it. When the fill needle goes in I felt nothing except some pressure when they push the needle into the port. Whole process takes just minutes. I do get some bruising but so far fills have smooth sailing for me.

Just had my first fill today and no big deal at all, first the numbing which was the worst part of it, and that was only like a pin prick. Didn't even feel the larger needle at all - easy peasy!

The needle stick pinches a bit but no big deal. For me the worse part is I got faint, and if you are at all like that, warn them first so they don't have you stand up only to go down!

I asked about fills hurting before I got my first fill....and wish I hadn't! I think maybe knowing what was going to happen actually contributed to my being faint! Sometimes it's better not to know so you don't get yourself all worked up beforehand!
