How much pain



Recommended Posts

HI all I was just wondering how much pain are you in when you get the fills, Im talking the needle do they numb you first in that area, or jsut straight in. Im not too sure about needles, but I am willing to put up with t for the sake of losing my weight.

Any help:biggrin:

Don't sweat it!! there's nothing to it, and I'm a big suck!! It's a little poke and that's it, although i guess it depends where your port is, how easy it is for your doctor to feel it to find the center. My port is to the left of my belly button and is close to the surface, so my Dr. has never had a problem.

Hope this helps!!

No worse than any of the pre-op testing we had to endure! Probably most similar to the stick for blood work, although it bothers me less to get poked in the stomach than in my arm - fills don't bother me at all- and they are how I'm gonna get thin so that makes it easier to take!

      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.
