What is the first fill like? Does it hurt? Is it a 1-2-3 process? My 1st fill has to be in the hospital. A little nervou. Thanks

Mine are always quick, easy, and painless. It's over in seconds and I don't even feel the needle at all.

Ditto what Missy said. It's a bit of pinch through the skin and that's it because the needle is in the port not going into any muscle or anything else so it's just a tiny pinch.

Often times I feel like I'm in a mechanic shop getting adjusted my Dr. uses a valve attached to the syringe so that Fluid doesn't flow both ways only the way it is pushed or pulled, so it was an odd feeling the first time now it's a quick thing and I'm out the door.

Good luck with yours and the worst part of it is the fear of the unknown. Take it in stride and you'll do great!

Quick and easy. Both of my doctors numb the injection site, which is just a tiny little needle with a tiny little sting.
