Ok. I went in for my first fill yesterday. I was under the fluoroscope. She bent 3 needles. And then said I must have some "scar tissue". She then scheduled me for 2 day later (tomorrow) with another person that she said had more experience with the Realize band port. I could see the lack of confidence in her- as if this had happened before. I was thinking that the scope gives a 2 dimensional view and maybe it was difficult because of the angle I was laying down/angle of the needle. The last time, I did feel like she went off the side of the port. Any suggestions from the experts.
