I had my first fill today and both the PA and the surgeon who was finally called into the room had trouble finding my port. I think they stuck me a total of 21 times. I realize now that I should have said "enough" at some point but they kept saying they almost had it.....eventually they got it, but it was fairly tedious....took about 30 minutes of jabbing. Now Im worried that the tubing could have been punctured....God knows they punctured everywhere possible in a 2 inch area. Anyone else have something similar happen?
