I went for my 2nd fill today...I currently have 2.25 cc in my band. My concern is about the fill I reveived today, when the dr. stuck the neddle into the port, I just about jumped out of my skin from the pain...is this normal? Then when he removed the needle from port, I bleed for about 3-5 minutes...again is this normal? The dr. told me the muscle around the port is irritated, and that's why it caused so much pain. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks! Fran

Hey There! Newly banded - May 8th, 2007 - I'm located in the NW area 290/Mason Road. It would be great to meet a group of ladies (in the NW area) and set up a support group. I am a stay at home mom, so meeting for morning coffee or lunch works well for me. Let me know if anyone is interested. Email me at frani27_00@yahoo.com Thanks!
