First fill was a complete failure
I woke up this morning very excited about my first fill. I spoke to my nutritionist and finally my doctor came in to give me the fill. My doctor had this very long and thick needle that was so scary looking but I knew I could handle it because I figure that I've gotten this far, how bad could it be.
So the doctor asked me lie on the the bed and lift my head and feet at the same time while he tries to find my port. He finally, after a few minutes found it and proceeded to insert the needle in the port area but when he went in he would lose it. Well, this went on about 5 times; the insertion of the needle didn't hurt but when he'd miss he'd poke my stomach muscle which is the worst pain ever. He finally gave up after 5 tries and he told me that the reason why he was having trouble is because with the weight I have (the thick stomach fat) I should’ve gotten the gastric bypass and because I opted for the lap band he had purposely place the port further back than usual. So to make a long story short I have been rescheduled on Thursday at radiology so he can see where the port actually is and he can avoid poking the hell out of me. I can’t wait!!!
