My First Fill - not so good



Recommended Posts

Well today was my first fill and it didn't go so well.. Dr. added the saline and had me sip on Water in the waiting room, well this pain in my throat and chest was horrible!! She had to remove some saline Salisbury I had to vomit to get the water out. We did this 3 times so yes, I got three sticks, which I hate needles. Then I had to get x-rays, finally she just removed all of the saline and put me back on liquids for one week and soft foods for one week.. I hope this gets better but I am excited about being able to get back to my exercise routine......I miss workouts so let's hope my next fill will be better..

Sorry about your first fill experience. I had two sticks on my first fill bc the surgeon glanced the needle of the side if the port, and then he had to pull out the ultrasound to find it.

At least you are still positive! Don't let this discourage you. My second fill went off perfectly. It can only get better! Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear of your bad experience with the fill! Hopefully, you won't have to go through that again and your doc will SEE what they are doing the first time....using the fluoro as they ended up doing this time. Maybe suggest it to them...very nicely of course. Best wishes
