I will be going in for my first fill in the morning. I am a little nervous but I know it will be okay. How much do they usually add at a first fill? I do not want to leave being too tight and end up with complications!

There really isn't a "normal" first fill amount. Some get very conservative fills others get whopping huge fills. It depends on your anatomy, your doctor, and your doctor's willingness to listen to your needs.

Be sure to drink Water before leaving the office, this way if you're too tight and the water gurgles back up you'll know and can immediately get some taken right back out. It lessens the chance of going home to find out you're too tight.

Good luck tomorrow!

I just had my 1st today-2 CCs!!! It did not hurt and I go back in two weeks!!

Thanks for the info!!!

The first fill went great! I don't know why I was so worried. I started having dreams that all my hair fell out and my port had flipped. Everything was perfect. The nurse pulled out all of the fluid, put it back in and added 1 cc. I will go back in 4 weeks unless I am feeling hungry before. The fill was quick and painless! I had a long talk with nurse on progress so far and we made a goal for the next visit. It is a great Friday!

I moved to Florida and the Doctor there told me my port flipped. I can't stop crying since I don't want to have surgery again. How hard is that surgery to recover from?
