Soooo Nervous!



Recommended Posts

First fill is tomorrow! I was banded and plicated April 24, 2012. I have lost a total of 66 pounds since February when I began my journey. I've read so many positive and negative things alike, I am nervous for my first fill tomorrow. Does anyone have any words of encouragement? Is it truthfully painful? Eeeekkk!

Have you ever had :-

Your eyebrows waxed/threaded?

Your legs,bikini area waxed

If you have then you have willingly suffered far more pain than it takes to have a fill. A fill is generally very quick and doesn't hurt any more than when you have to get blood drawn for a blood test. A slight discomfort and then it's over.

It doesn't hurt, they usually use a numbing spray it is no big deal........

Doesn't hurt only a tiny sting when needle goes in and it's done in a minute. So just relax and you will be fine.

I remember being so nervous too! Honestly I worked myself up over nothing. It wasn't too bad. I'm a fainter so my doc knows this and he was so sweet to have a cold washcloth for my head, had the lidocaine for me to put on before I came in, plus did the shots of lidocaine. And talked to me while PA did the fill. It was way over kill. The next time I just laid there and talked to him while he did the fill. Very easy!!!!!

My doc gives me a numbing shot in my port area ( a slight sting) before doing my fill. I bruise easily so I always have a small bruised area and a little sensitivity for a couple of days.
