Is The Fills Going To Hurt Less?

REDGIRL · January 28, 2008

I WILL BE GOING FOR THE 7TH FILL AND EACH TIME I GO IT HURTS. ITS A PAIN THAT I'M WILLING TO TAKE. BUT IS THIS IT ? OR WILL IT START TO FEEL LESS PAINFUL?

What kind of pain are you experiencing? I have minimal pain during my fills-although-i have only had three fills so far

I didn't feel mine at all. that's so strange. Is it the band or the port that hurts?

I had 3 fills and not a single one hurt. Where is it hurting? The band? The port? Are they hitting you at the right place the first time? You might just be experiencing some stoma soreness due to the band being "irritated". If so, just take a few days easy and on liquids. If it's the port that's giving you problems, I'd find a new fill doctor or see if there's a problem with your port placement.

I've had 2 fills and neither one hurt. Actually, I didn't feel a thing with my second one.

Does your doctor uses a numbing agent? Mine are never painful.

Mine hurt before they fixed the port. He would push down on my port and make me tense up, and it was pretty painful.. felt like he was shoving something into my muscles. This had nothing to do with the needle, he had to poke a lot and that didn't bother me, but the pushing did.

Once they realized my port had flipped and they fixed it, when he pushes on it, I feel no pain! So that was just a symptom of my port being in bad position. The needles don't hurt IMO, they're small enough and it's quick.
