Im getting my first fill on 5/7/09, is there anything I should look out for? What should I do or expect after it? Please let me know what you have experinced with your first fill. Just a little nervous and scared, I have no idea what to expect.

I lost about 20 pounds the first 3 weeks and havent lost anything after that.

Hi!!!

I remember being all freaked out over my first fill but it is really simple and painless. You have nothing to worry about!

My doctor always numbs me up a bit at my port site and then does my fill. All I feel is a little pressure... nothing of too much discomfort. You most likely won't be able to tell a huge difference (at least I didn't) with your first fill... I have been told it takes many to feel the needed restriction!

I am getting my second fill today... I believe it will put me at 3cc's in a 10cc band. I need more! Ha!

Best of luck to you and congrats on your 20 down!! :thumbup:

My doctor doesn't use any numbing stuff, and I don't think it's needed. The only thing that might hurt is him probing around your port sight with his fingers to find it. Mine was still really sort 4 weeks after surgery when I got my first fill. The needle part didn't hurt at all.
