Fill Pain?

What does it feel like to get your first fill?

I just had my first fill last week. Nothing to it!! If your surgeon does fills under fluro you are in for a treat! It's awesome to watch! I had a small bruise the next day but it didn't hurt really. The night of the full I went to my Zumba class, so really, it's easy!

My first fill was painful. I was still over 300 pounds so the doctor had a lot of fat to go through, it was like finding a port in a haystack. I was also NOT done under fluro. None of my fills have been under fluro.

Other than that the other fills have been a cake walk. My most recent one hurt a bit but that was because it was a new dr and my port is now on an angle.

Not bad at all! I was so nervous for my first fill and I used to give myself 6 shots in the stomach a DAY! Don't look at the needle, it can be intimidating. Usually my doc pushing around my port to find the right spot 'hurts' more than the needle stick. And I say 'hurts' very loosly, b/c it really didn't hurt..just pushing. And after all that feeling around "I" think it kind of numbs the area....I really barely feel the needle. Now once they put it in, I find it feels a little strange when they put the Fluid in...like a pulsing feeling. Each time gets easier. Good luck!

I have had three fills so far. I was really scared before the first one and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't hurt at all. The second one was a larger fill and took longer. I was not so pleasantly surprised that it did hurt that time. It wasn't horrible but not at all pleasant ! I had my third one this week. I told him that the last one hurt and I wasn't at all looking forward to the experience of another one. He took his time and waited a few seconds to let the numbing shot work before doing the fill and it wasn't bad at all. The needle for the numbing shot is very small so it doesn't hurt. I think the reason the second fill hurt is that the fill needle went in immediately after the numbing needle. Waiting a few seconds made the difference for me.
