5th Fill down 5 more lbs.

I had my 5 th fill appt. this am. When I got on the scale for the nurse I was down 5 pounds since my last appt. one month ago. I was at 3.25 cc and today he put in .5 cc so now I am at 3.75 cc. He had a hard time again finding the port and told me it is tilted to the Right. It was very uncomfortable while he was finding the correct spot. My daughter was with me, thank god. Things are moving slow but I am losing. Just slowly.....Does anyone out there have a tilted port also? How do u feel when he injects you ? I would love to hear from a few other people with the same issue....... :laugh:

I found that raising my legs just a few inches off the table makes it easier to feel the port. Do all doctors do that? I wasn't sure, but you might want to try it.
