HarleyNana 10 Posted January 7, 2006 My first fill, I hate needles by the way, I had my first anxiety attack, started to sweat, got all clammy, had to lie down, what a sissy. Well, the second time I went, the doctor prescribed Valium, I only took 1/2, then a topical to put on 1/2 hr before my fill. I didn't feel chit, only pressure when he was feeling for the port. Did I mention I hate needles, LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youknowit 11 Posted January 7, 2006 no numbing... kind of wish they had, but it wasn't too horrible or anything. just a small prick, and I did a little breathing technique, which helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy473 1 Posted January 9, 2006 Nope! No numbing here....but if you have Dr. Spivak as your doctor there's no need for it...he is SO gentle...just a little prick and your done. The only thing I didn't like was when he applied some pressure to my port to make sure of the location. Great experience with him as always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdemzi 9 Posted January 11, 2006 I can feel my port right under my large incision. It is really close to the surface. If my doc misses it, then I will be very worried! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giveyouthemoon 4 Posted January 11, 2006 No numbing here. It was hard the first time since they couldn't hit the port. Now that I've lost weight the port is closer to the surface so they hit is super easy....hardly any pain and I'm a BIG WEENIE about pain!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
