Up until I had my first fill I hadn't a clue where my port was located, as my surgeon only made 1 incision. The NP, who did the fill, showed me where it was, but quite honestly, with all the belly fat, I wasn't sure what I was touching. He had me do a crunch, and then I could feel it. So, if your fill doctor/NP has difficulty finding the port, suggest doing a crunch.

Oh I did, it wasn't that he couldn't find the port, it was that he was making sure it didn't flip and finding the top of it. I felt like I was at the gym, he was "Do a crunch, now hoooooooold it......." then proceeded to poke me and luckily I have been working out because he had me holding the crunch for like 2 mins straight! I said, thanx no need for the gym tonight! LOL.:thumbup:

Hi All,

Well I had my First fill today it went fine No problems at all.

I lay on the table and my doctor who i have to say if fab he found the port the first time. I had a glass of Water to see if it would stay down then i left i would say i was in about 15mins and that is the doctor doing his thing and me chatting to himn about how i have been since my operation.

I am not hungry at all. I am going to have a nice milky coffee for my tea as i dont think i could manage anything more.
