2 weeks ago i went for my first fill and the new dr; bc my original dr opened his own thing and my insurance wont cover me to move or something) i saw didnt do fills till 6 weeks and they scheduled for 4( theres another post about that) so long story short i obviously didnt get it. Then today was my second attempt to get my first fill again... well the dr put the needle in and fished around for a few mins and couldnt get to the port bc it is too deep? So now i have to go to the hospital to do an xray fill. Well first off they have to get an approval from my insurance THEN schedule the appointment. Thats going to be at least another week! I have gained 3lbs since i have been on reg foods. The hospital is like 45 miles away! I know its not the dr fault this time but wouldnt you think they should have longer needles if, as he said "it happens more then often", instead of having to send me or other ppl to the hospital?? Im not happy at all!!

My port was also quite deep. As I've lost weight it is closer to the surface. My office has me do a small crunch which helps to make the port more accessable. Might want to try that next time. The upside is hopefully your port won't stick out when you get to goal.

He made me crunch alittle but he was taking so long i couldnt hold it any longer. Well the upside is good to know i was worried about my port sticking out later lol
