Sweet Spot

I had a little trouble getting my third fill the first time around. The NP could not find the center of the port and I had to be stuck about 4 times so she gave up. She said my port did not feel like it had flipped, but that it was at an angle. I had to go back a week later to let the doc try :smile:. Well it took him a minute and a couple of sticks as well, but he figured out it was higher up than they thought. Eureka!:thumbup:He found it and gave me a whole cc fill. This took me 6.5 CC and a very comfortable sweet spot. I am not hungry all the time and really can control my between meal snacking because of it. I have started to loose weight and that makes me feel great. I was getting depressed with the first two fills because I was still in bandster hell. I am very happy about my everchanging relationship with my band, but I can't help but be nervous about the next fill.
