Dear Friends,
This is my first time writing here. I have been reading all this wonderful advice, and it has helped me so much. I went in Tuesday, 23 May for my very first fill. I climbed up on the x-ray table (that is surely kept in the freezer when not being used), the doctor found the port the very first time, no problem.
Forty Five minutes and four needles later I still had ZERO saline in the port. Once he was in the port, it would take him both hands to try to squeeze even the smallest amount of clear saline into the port.
Saline was even leaking out of my injection sight and rolling down my rotund belly.
I was sent into the other room to rest for about 25 minutes while 3 other patients were filled in about 6 minutes each.
Again I climbed onto the x-ray table (slightly warmer now). Thirty minutes and two needles later he claims that 2 cc of saline was added, but I don’t think so.
Any advice would sure help. Is my port faulty? Is my tube from the port to the band blocked? Let me know what to do next… Thanks, :help: Asia Fit.
