No Fill!!!

[Trina C 7]

I went in to get a fill on my 6 week checkup but it didn't happen. My doctor stuck me at least 5 times but could not get the right spot of my port. It was very painful and I was almost in tears. He did warn me that the first fill is always the hardest and he may have to stick me multiple times so I tried to prepare myself for the worst. I have read so many post about other people who had no problems with their first fill. I'm starting to question my dr even tho I was very pleased with him up until this point. I now have to get a floroscapy done in order to get my fill. This is when they use an x-ray machine. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this experience and if this is normal?

I am so sorry to hear you are having issues.. I went throught tru resluts and all my fills have been under florscope which is great because i get to see and confirm placement of my band and see the Fluid pas thru. My doctor also uses lidocain soaked gauze rubs to reduce the pain and I have no pain at all. I would suggest you ask your doctor use a local or these swabs to reduce the pain, fills should not be painful. Good luck I will be praying for you.
