  1. Went to the dr yesterday and saw a different dr who was filling in for my dr and he looked at my chart and said I was loosing between 4-6 pounds each month and didn't feel the need for a fill but I insisted and so he gave me 3cc's.I feel good today and the hunger is less but he felt I would b ok without. I just felt that if I'm loosing weight then I should get aa fill to continue the progress and avoid a slippage.
  2. When the dr has the needle in your port n tells you to drink n let him know when it feels stuck, I tell him.But then I get confused when he tells me to keep drinking n i m not sure what I'm suppose to be feeling or what to tell him? Can someone help n explain it to me?
  3. I've noticed the weight loss has slowed down n I'm not having any food restrictions.I'm having my third fill today n going to ask Dr if its normal.I try and watch what I eat but haven't started exercising yet.But other than the above I feel great, no regrets.

  5. Ive had two fills since my surgery May 10th and I was losing a pound or so each day.Since my last fill I haven't lost or gained any weight. I have a bruise where the Dr gave me my fill and I don't feel any food restrictions. Has anyone gone thru this or heard of anything similar. The last fill was 1.8cc's.
  6. Had my second fill and the experience was so different from the first one.I got 1.8cc's and I feel kind of sore around the port area.The Dr didn't numb me enough the first time and had to inject me a second time , then he finally filled me and now im just sore.Dr asked me to drink water and it went down slowly , felt like it was stuck in my upper chest area., then had to finish the rest of the water before I could leave the office.
  7. When I slouch down I feel the area where my port is located feel a little sore.and my husband says he can feel it when he puts his hand on it and doesn't like to feel it. Does anyone else feel the port.?
