  1. If you asked to be numbed is the best. Sometimes it is hard for them to locate the so called bulleye. But as for being scared I was also, now I know and its a breeze. I dont look down cause my port is kinda deep they have to use a 8" needle so its better not to look! Good luck

    Look save your self some money! Go to walmart and buy the special K protien drinks. They are the best out there. The full feeling tht nothng will go down your throat, is because your stomach swells when you have a fill and makes the band tighter. once the swelling goes down the pin should go away. Not sure what size band you have but if it s a 10 u will need between 6.5cc to 7.4cc I found out finally after 3 fills where I should be. Good luck

    I named mine " my squeeze" works for me. because when you get your fill it is like you are being squeezed! lol good luck

    Try to remember you arent putting in what you use too! things have changed as they should. If in fact you are drinking liquids that will help
