First Fill Discomfort



Recommended Posts

I've just received my first fill. Doc put 4 cc at surgery & put .5 cc as my first fill. I asked him to go easy because i didnt want the chance of being overly tight when i know he & staff will be off for the thanksgiving holiday. I've lost 15lbs since surgery a little less than four weeks ago. My question is... My port area is still giving my discomfort, even more since I was filled. Is this normal? Seems like the port sits right where I bend. I can't seem to get comfortable, good thing I can where dresses because wearing pants just kills me!!

Hi I had mine done 4 weeks now. Had a filled already on Tuesday, It's giving me discomfort only when bending down, not that much as when I had surgery. If you have discomfort all the time and 4weeks already check it out.

Port area is slow to fully heal. If you are concerned ask the doctor about it!

Hi you are still fresh out. Just take it easy and nooo jeans. I wore dresses for a couple weeks. Your port area will be sensitive as it is setting into your tissues so that it stays in place. You will be ok. Congrats on the 15lbs!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
