My First Fill Experience



Recommended Posts

Went in for a 7 week checkup and asked for a fill since I have no restriction and snacking a lot in-between. He was happy to oblige. He had a very hard time finding my port. The NP came in to help after a lot of tries and she thought she found it and put in 4cc. They sat me up and I drank Water with no problem. He decided to put in another cc, pulled back to measure all the Fluid and didn't get it all back. Again I swallowed water with no problem. I'm really not positive they found the right spot. I guess I'll find out in 4 weeks when I go for another fill.

I'm sorry your first fill experience wasn't great. Where is your port? Mine is below my left ribcage, even with my belly button. Locating it has never really been an issue, but since I've lost weight it has tilted and is angled down, so they have to poke around with their fingers to find the front before actually sticking me. The needle doesn't hurt, but my port sight will be sore after from them moving it around. =/ I think I may be in a good place and don't need another fill, so that's always something to look forward to!
