I just followed the instructions on the bottle dissolve in 4-8oz of water or beverage of choice, I had no problems with that, plus you can drink it over a period of time

mirolax worked wonders for me

The nurse had trouble the first time she tried for like 45 min. I was black and blue, she thought it slipped, I saw the Dr. the next day he got it no prob. Second fill fine. third took 30-35 minutes tons of brusing. It seems to be better now. The NP said that she has only had issues with 3 people me being one of the lucky ones(yea me). You might just have a trickey port or a not a good nurse. I think my port pyches my NP out now she is afraid of hurting me... But the last 2 times have been smooth sailing...Good luck!!!!

gas x strips were good for me, plus for future referance buy some mirolax powder for the up coming constipation...gross I know just wish I had known sooner.

Hi, I was banded June 15 and scheduled for my first fill July 11. the NP had a very hard time finding the port(lots of poking and brusing) she thought that it flipped so I had x rays done ( I work in a urgent care so so I could get it done quickly) the Dr. looked at the x rays and said it was in the right place. YEA, So July 18(my birthday) he was able to find the port with me standing up, the NP then tried it and found it( with me laying down). Next fill Aug 1 took the NP about 5 minutes to find it. OK Aug 15 after 30 min of poking and she can not get it,she then stands me up and gets it. I am not numb at this point its like 2 inches higher than she was going when I was laying down. Anyone else havining these kinds of issues. My husband does not want me to see her again but I dont have 2 hrs to wait in the Dr. office. Next fill scheduled Aug 29.
