Do they numb you b/4 sticking the needle in ?

My first fill, I hate needles by the way, I had my first anxiety attack, started to sweat, got all clammy, had to lie down, what a sissy. Well, the second time I went, the doctor prescribed Valium, I only took 1/2, then a topical to put on 1/2 hr before my fill. I didn't feel chit, only pressure when he was feeling for the port. Did I mention I hate needles, LOL.

Yep i get numbed

no numbing... kind of wish they had, but it wasn't too horrible or anything. just a small prick, and I did a little breathing technique, which helped.

Nope! No numbing here....but if you have Dr. Spivak as your doctor there's no need for it...he is SO gentle...just a little prick and your done. The only thing I didn't like was when he applied some pressure to my port to make sure of the location. Great experience with him as always.

I can feel my port right under my large incision. It is really close to the surface. If my doc misses it, then I will be very worried!

No numbing here. It was hard the first time since they couldn't hit the port. Now that I've lost weight the port is closer to the surface so they hit is super easy....hardly any pain and I'm a BIG WEENIE about pain!!!
