omg i don't wanna know this... i have my first fill scheduled for 7/22... i feel like i can feel the port on my stomach; but it feels much larger than what it is which is weird. does your doc not use xray during the fill? mine doesn't (i asked) however from a lot of what i understand most docs only poke knowing they have located the port hole. .makes me a bit nervous...

Don't be nervous really does not hurt that badly. You will feel some pressure, and than it quickly goes away. Good Luck!

I had many fills. There are 3 lap band surgens in the doctors office. I had all 3 try to fill and unfill me. One doctor could get my port after a few trys. The other doctor after a lot of pokes still could never get me. My doctor can on the first try. He said that my port was very curved maybe an x-ray would be better then surgery. You may also just be curved.
