Thanks Ladies for all of your responses and warm welcomes !! I hope no one has to ever go thru what i've been thru.. @crystal525... I do believe I am at my "sweet spot" now.. I think:confused:. @battlekat1970.. Thanks for that suggestion. I think ill start taking a pain medication before i go in for a fill and afterwards. The bruising and pain after is horrible!

Where can I purchase this UNFLAVORED PROTEIN POWDER??

Hey all!, I was banded on 3/10/10. I had my 1st fill on last week 04/06/10 and it was sooo :eek:PAINFUL!! My Dr. had a difficult time finding my port even while using an ultrasound. He was able to see it (slightly) but he just couldnt access it. So after being "pressed" on and "poked" for what seemed like 100 times for 30 minutes, he finally sent me to radiology to have my fill using a fluoroscope. I was "supposedly" filled with 5cc by the radiology Dr. and I was in pain for like 2 days after that experience. I wasnt feeling any restriction so I went again on yesterday 04/12/10 for my 2nd fill and the same thing happened except with less pokes this time....Come to find out when the radiology Dr. did my 1st fill 2cc leaked back out when he extracted the needle (and I felt it run down my side) and I wasnt at a full 5cc. I believe I was at 3.5 or somewhere around there. My Dr. did the fill this time and he assured me that there is 5.5cc in there. Has anyone else had a problem with a hard to locate low profile port?? With 2 painful FILL experiences I am not at all excited :thumbup: about going in for my fills!!!!
