3Rd Fill Gone Wrong?



Recommended Posts

Had my 3rd full yesterday... I was super excited bc I needed the restriction.... The nurse stabbed me twice trying to find my port... It was so effen painful! I left in so much pain and a day later I'm still in pain! My mom told me my stomach looks bloated! It almost feels like around my port is pooching out : / is this normal?! I'm scared to call my dr and they will take my fill out, I need the restriction !

Has it been awhile since your last fill? The last time I went I for a full it had been about a year... It didn't hurt with the needle but I was tender and sore for a few days after. All is well now. Figured it was irritated cuz it hadn't been bothered in awhile. If pain is unbearable, go to the surgeon or at least make a phone call.

Why is a nurse filling? I've had 4 fills and always has been a Dr. Ask for one next time due to difficulty.

Same thing happened to me on my 4 th fill. They couldn't find the port opening and 2 nurses were jabbing me for about 10 minutes. They eventually found it and said it was because I'm losing weight and it happens. I'm still a bit worried about it! But anyway I was bruised quite bad and was sore for over a week. I was still happy they filled me as I had visions of flipped port and surgery.

I'd say you'll be fine in a week. Good luck x
