I just got back from my first fill. Turns out my port is tilted about 45 degrees. Dr. Bonnor was finally able to access it by changing the angle of the needle. Said it could pose some difficulty later, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. He put in .6 cc's. He believes in a conservative approach. He said every time he's tried to be more aggressive (usually on a patient's request) it has not worked out well. I'm fine with that. If this fill will help me stay full for another hour I'll be happy!
