Getting First Fill in 2 Days!!! SCARED!!

[NJMommy2Four 16]

Doc found out that I have insurance at least for one more month. So not an issue yet!! Not sure about what follows!!

So glad to hear all your comments. I made the mistake of watching a YouTube video and it freaked me out a bit! Looked like they couldn't find the port......do they have a hard time getting the needle in the port, or is it more how good your doctor is filling it?

At my fills, they now do them with you standing up. Used to be lying down. At mine, they will have you stand on the fluro machine, the turn the machine on, mark your stomach with a sharpie at the port location, then put the needle in. I have never had a bad experience with fills. I was nervous the first time too, but it was all for nothing.

OK so everything is set for tomorrow. I go first thing in the morning to get my first fill. I am so scared and nervous thinking about it. Luckily I was really busy at the beginning of this week I didn't even have time to think about it, but now its all I can think about!!

I was absolutely terrified at my first fill and I nearly fainted, but they had two nurses in there with me one to give the fill and one to hold my hand. They numb the area with lidocaine and to be honest that shot was all that stung for a quick second and then from there all I felt was the nurse touching my tummy. In my mind I still get scared but I promise each time it gets easier and easier. I am at the point to where I just close my eyes and start singing to myself and the nurse knows to leave me alone while she is giving the fill. It's done faster then you know and it can be scary but they are all there to help you and believe me they are very supportive of anything you tell them.

The lidocaine sucked!! the rest was easy!! and my Dr kept joking with me, so it helped calm me down!
