Its very simple, my doctor feels for my port (which takes him about 8 sec to find) he then takes a small needle and numbs the area ( on a scale from 1-10 the pain from that is a 2, just a slight pinch) he then decides how much saline to fill into the syringe and feels again for my port and places the needle inside (30 sec) it takes about 5-10 sec for him to put all the saline in, and its completely painless, you cant feel it going in, it may be a little uncomfortable when he pokes around inside of you for the port, but it wont be painful. afterwards theyll have you sit up and drink a cup of water to see how well it goes down and theyll determine if they need to remove any solution..., then you get to go home and of course this is all assuming that your first fill wont be under a fluro.

I started out alone, and lost the first 50/60 alone just by walking on the treadmill and eating right.I started working out with my trainer after sort of hitting a plateau and have since lost 40 ish more pounds since July, and my body has changed dramatically.I literally feel that my body has been remolded, my arms were beginning to be flabby, no more.I was sure I'd need a tummy tuck after losing all this weight, and now Im pretty sure I won't.she guides me, teaches me and holds me accountable for my weight. I know that I love having my trainer && even though it costs an arm and a leg for me to meet with her 3x a week, I love it'

About 90 pounds down && I still don't ENJOY it.I enjoy the results, and the atmosphere, but I still don't like the actual action.it has become a natural part of my life now, sort of like my food choices now.I eat healthy and workout because of the benefits they give to my body, but don't necessarily enjoy them! Tips to get more into working out 1) good music playlist, fill your iPod with tons of upbeat songs you love 2) find a gym buddy 3) switch up your routine so that you don't get bored.ie try zumba, pilates, water fitness etc. 4) get a trainer.if you can afford it, a trainer is a great investment.they can motivate you, yeah you && help you to be accountable. Good luck!

I started walking the night after surgery lol and continued only cardio for about 3mos, then I started doing arms/legs/back/chest.I didnt start doing stomach exercises until 6mos just bc I was being a total worry bug and was afraid I'd flip my port ;-/ you can def.start with weights earlier though I'm sure.looking back I'm not really sure why I waited 3mos to start.

I love straws and have since day one preferred to have them.Truthfully I'm less likely to gulp with a straw.
