I was asked to Bump this thread for newbys. So here it is.

I'm wondering how much of the actual needle goes into your port/skin.

If it's just a portion of the tip - I wouldn't think it would matter how big the needle itself is.

Thanks, for the info!!!!

Patti, here is another pic. of the needle all the way in. My local Doc uses a smaller needle and still does the fill. So who knows why they use different needles?

Yes, the needle is huge. But I promise, you shouldn't feel it. I've never been numbed either. It makes kind of a pop sound when the needle enters the port, but other than that it's nothing.

Hi I went in for an adjustment friday and my dr. didnt use a big needle. but it took him a long time to find my port. I have a big bruse where he used the needle. do you usually get a bruse after a fill?

thank you

Hi Bandalina, I get a bruise sometimes. I all depends on how hard my Dr. had to search for my port. :grouphug:
