I had my first fill today and I didn't get numbed. I didn't even feel the pinch when they inserted the needle, I only felt the pressure of him pushing it in, but it didn't hurt at all.

I have had 9 fills and one tad unfil. Either way, my port is so close to the top of my skin, doesn;'t have to go very far. At the beginning, He did not even ask if I wanted to numb, now he does. I pass, unless he has it ready to go..

The first time no, but the second time yes I did! I am a baby and hate pain. I didnt even feel the pain meds. And when he pulled out that big needle I almost fell of the table..LOL..But it was way better with it numb!

I had problems with my band almost immediately. I swelled more than they expected me to. 48 hours after my surgery, I had to go back and have about 3 cc removed from my band. I didn't feel a thing. Honest, and I'm a whimp.

The hardest part is what we think it will be like. The reality is completely different.

Good luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
