First fill fears



Recommended Posts

That only natural and that's just because you dont know what to expect. You are only going to feel the stick from the needle they use to numb the area with and after that it just feels like some pushing. Just dont look, you'll be just fine.

It's not much of a deal like Tanya said, so try to relax and not worry. After it is all over you will wonder why you were so nervous.

Hi

I was also very scared the first time.It was actually a good experience.I do put EMLA on the portsite half an hour to one hour before I go to dr.That way he doesnt even give me numbing injection.Emla numbs the skin area and I dont even feel the needle.All I feel is when he feels for the port but I must say he has been spot on everytime.

Dont worry it will be ok..

That is so funny you mention that because I was not even nervous about the surgery, even as they were wheeling me back (I think it's cause my husband was nervous enough for both of us LOL). But I go for my first fill today and I'm acutally kinda nervous. I think it's mostly because the whole PBing is more likely after you have some restriction and the thought that i know i'm not going to be able to eat like I have been lately.

Getting a fill isbn't so bad. It is usually over with quickly and without much discomfort. But it is okay for you to be worried. You will do fine. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!!!

hi

EMLA is a cream that you can use to numb the skin area completely.We used it is SA for my child that had a skin implant every month and now here in Dubai I buy it at any pharmacy.It is a topicat anaesthetic.

Ask your pharmasist about it maybe you need a script for it there.Here you can buy practically anything without prescription.

For me it really works.Dont even need a skin local when doing fill...

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
