Nervous About 2Nd Fill

[sherrypep 91]

I had my first fill Feb. 1st and it didn't hurt but the needle got stuck in the port and the PA had to pull and pull to get it out, the needle even slipped out of her hand at one point as she was trying to remove it. It was a bit scary. I have no restriction and I know I need another fill which is scheduled for March 6th, but I am nervous this is how it will be every time. It felt like sticking a knife in a cork and it getting stuck.

Hopefully it was just a one time issue. I've never had an issue with it (but I don't have a problem with needles also)....she just sticks it in then injects it. Were you standing up or laying down? Maybe try the other position. Hope you don't have an issue!

is that person the only one that can do it?

I was laying down and she had me put my legs in the air like I was doing a leg lift. I think I see the Dr. for the next fill so maybe it will be easier. Thanks.

My doctor has me to put my hands behind my head and pull up just a little as if I am doing a crunch. Sticks the needle and the whole process takes about a minute.
