YouTube lap band fill video

[Paulax 8]

For me that was really disturbing. I hate needles and now I'm nervous about my fist fill- I guess I'll have to keep my eyes shut. I then went to go see the banding video- I made it 10 seconds before closing the window.

I am tough as nails about many things, 3 kids, natural childbirth, 3 surgeries etc. But little tiny needles scare me. Go figure.

I was so nervous about my first fill. My surgeon does not use any numbing agent. I also didn't look, and was happily embarrassed by the lack of pain of my first and second fill. :nervous

I posted this video on YouTube of a lap band fill, just for the heck of it:

Watching both the fill and procedure on You Tube helped me deal with a lot of my anxiety. I am usually squeemish with surgery videos but I was happy to come across this. I was just bothered that we have to pay whatever amount for fills for 10 seconds!!! lol

Honest honest honest. I'm a scaredy cat about needles, and the fills are NOTHING. I don't have them use the numbing stuff either. It feels like getting a shot, and then you don't feel anything!!!! Honest. It's as quick as that video! My anxiety in the waiting room practically did me in...and then it was truly no big deal!

Thanks for putting the video here. I am going in for my first fill this friday and wan't sure of what to expect. Doesn't look bad at all.

Yeah. Thanks from me too. Actually, the fill is even less traumatic than the film because you aren't watching. It's just poof and done.
