I survived my first fill!!!

I was so nervous. It seems from reading here that it's either a simple quick thing or a terrible drawn out fiasco. For me it was simple, quick and totally painless, thank God!! The lidocaine was barely a sting and I felt nothing after that. I stood up the whole time in front of the fluoroscopy machine. He showed me my port and band said 'you'll feel me shaking you a little' My belly jiggled for a second as he worked the needle into the port..easy as pie. I couldn't feel it AT ALL!! It mostly just felt like he was jiggling my fat a little, LOL!! I took a sip of barium, the band was wide open. He put 4cc in, I sipped again. It still went through fairly quickly, just a much more narrow stream. Yay!!! I go back in a month.

I feel the same I went last week for my first and I have read some stories and kept them in my head. It was painless I even had the nurse hold my hand because I was so afraid. Boy not bad at all!
