I went for my first fill about 1 month ago. After several attempts (about 30 minutes of searching for my port) the PA found my port and gave me 3.5cc's in my 10cc band. He left the room to get a cup of water to have me sip slowly. When he returned to the room he said he was not confident that he found the port and wanted to try again. So he began searching for my port once again. This time he said he was sure he got it and gave me 3.5cc's. He got me a drink and I was able to drink just fine so home I went. After a couple days I became concerned because I had absolutely no restriction and I was able to eat anything and any amount I wanted. I called the office and went back in to see a different PA this time. I asked her if she could just check to make sure that there was 3.5cc in there. I realize I may not feel restriction with the 3.5cc in the band but I did not feel confident that I had anything because of the difficulty the PA had. She put the needle in and tried to withdraw the saline from my port. She was not able to get anything out. I asked her if that meant I had nothing in my port. She said no not necessarily. How could this be? If he put 3.5cc in my band shouldn't she be able to withdraw 3.5cc's? Anyway she proceeded to put in another 2cc's into the band. If I was really getting all the saline they said they were giving me, I would now be up to 5.5cc's. The problem is I still feel absolutely no restriction! How do I know exactly what is in there? I have a feeling that the first 3.5cc's was never really put in there. I am meeting with the doctor tomorrow to review all this but I thought I would ask if anyone out there has had a similar situation. I realize I have babbled on quite a bit here and I hope you were able to follow me. Please let me know if anyone has had a similar experience.
