No not at all! I always get a little lidocaine first to numb my port area slight pinch then don't feel anything else. My first couple fills were under fluro which makes it more accurate when placing needle in port. Congrats on your band and make sure you drink without any problems before you leave.

Not nervous but excited! I will tell you this, its something to get used to. I just had my 3rd fill yesterday and I still get a little nervous too but the needle is the only bad part. Good Luck!!

I received my first fill today. Didn't hurt one bit. I was a little anxious because I did not know what to expect, but it was no big deal. I am hoping to feel more restriction. I have 3.8cc in a 10cc band. The nurse told me that she didn't expect that I would be in the green zone after the fill, but that they do the adjustments in small increments out of caution and for accuracy. We'll see how this amount does in the next month for my weight loss. The nurse also told me that most people find the green zone around between 5 and 8ccs.
