Freaked out about 1st fill

Hey everyone I just had surgery on the 15th of Sept. Everything went great I healed well pain wasn't to bad and I've lost about 10lbs with out trying not to mention I love love love my surgeon.However I just had my first fill about 2days ago and it felt soooo nasty....weird its really hard to explain the sensation when pressure is applied to ur port. But anyway my question is has anyone had a fill and had bleeding and then soreness @ the port site there after? And when I say bleeding I don't mean an out pour but enough to raise an eyebrow. Pls let me know that way I could mentally prepare myself for the next one.

Yeah the bleeding is normal as is the soreness. In fact I sometimes get bruising a few days later. As far as the feeling of the fill goes now that you actually have fill in your band it won't feel as odd next time. Not sure how much of a fill you had gotten but I know my second fill I didn't really even feel. So glad that you are on your way to being a healthier and happier person.

I had my first fill on monday and it felt so weird too! Also my port had flipped so when he went to give me a fill he had to flip it over. I was definitely sore Monday and yesterday. And where he poked me with the needle it bled and was swollen... Almost like a mosquito bite.

It's good to know someone else thought it felt odd when they got their first fill. It was this weird squishy pressure... I don't even know how to explain it. Haha
