What to expect 1st fill

I am going for my first fill tomorrow and I would like to know somethings. Does the fill hurt? Does anything weird happen? Has anyone been banded at privdance in Waco Tx?

I just had my first fill last Friday. My surgeon gave me a small shot to numb the area, found the spot and it was over. The numbing shot felt like a very mild bee sting but only for a second. Otherwise, I didn't feel a thing. I am scared of needles so I requested not to see the needles he was using which really helped me out. I then drank water, which went down fine, and was able to leave. I am going back next Tuesday for a little more "tweeking" of my band. Good luck tomorrow!!!

I just had my 3rd fill yesterday and it was virtually painless. My doc does mine under floro so he finds my port on the first try every time. It really is no biggie....... nothing weird at all (I hate needles too so I usually close my eyes until the needle in in then I watch on the monitor while I swallow that awful tasting stuff) that part is kinda neat to watch as the liquid goes down while I swallow.

I just had my second fill and im ticked off and not sure i should be. they use the flora. when i was being sat up in the chair after the needle was inserted I felt a pop. the girl got a discussed look on her face and said it popped out...the assisstant looked surprised. i said "hey that feels wierd what happend? I got completly ignored after that and she put me half way back down to adjust i guess, she held onto the needle, I was then sat back up and she did the fill. I felt it. not pain but. exactly like when i was pregnat 22 years ago and the baby kicked. I commented that this was totaly differant then the first time. she did not reply. All the way home I thought to myself, does this happen alot. could i get punctured inside? I have only had one fill and it was really great, just no restriction for more than a week. This lady did not ask how the past three weeks had been and if I hadn't asked she wouldnt even of told me what she had put in. Im disscussed and will request she not do my fill again. has this happen to others? wondering????

I had a fill two days ago and that night I had chest pain and could not hold down water. I went back yesterday and they took out a 1cc. I feel much better but am still having trouble swallowing. It still feels inflammed. Guess I should stay on liquids for a few days.
