First Fill

Aug 12, 2010

I was really nervous about my first fill. I had read some online blogs that desrcibed it in detail and that made me feel a little more at ease. It was quite an experience. You lay on your back and lift your legs, while your stomach muscles are tight the dr. finds your port and inserts the needle.(it looked big to me)
I had a little bit of trouble at first the dr. said he did not feel like he was in the port correctly and ended up with three lifting the legs and pokes before it felt right to him. It really wasn't painfull , just nerve wracking.
I had 4 cc and then they lifted the bed to a standing postion and had me drink water. All the while the needle is still in your port. After I could drink water he layed me back down and removed the needle. All done!
My next fill is Aug. 30th.
