...and I have a very high tolerence for pain! lol...he had some trouble finding it,but he kept hitting a nerve in my back. He finally got it though! He said from what it sounds like,that i'm in my green zone. Mind you this is my first fill,but he had about 3 cc's in there (from what i could tell holding the needle while he searched for a paper cup for me) from my surgery. So hopefully this will top me off and i can start loosing agian!

I had the same problem, I had fatty deposits around my port so he stuck me 3 times before finding the port. I already had 1cc in there and he filled it with .8cc's and my 2nd fill is next friday, so excited about that, though the deposits are gone so my prot is prominent now. It's great when that slump finally goes away, So good luck!!!!! and congrats!

Did you find a fill doc in Fairbanks or did you have to come back to Anchorage? I start my pre-op testing Friday cause my Surgery is next tuesday.... I can't wait. Congrats on your weightloss and I hope it continues for you... Jennifer

I flew down at noon and was back home by six...i was actually in and out (30mins. max,was seen at 1:30(apt. was at 2),but by the time i got to the airport the 3 o'clock flight was already boarding,so i waiting to the 4,back in fairbanks by 5,eielson by 6 so it wasn't to bad...good luck with your testing! it's not near as bad as i thought it was going to be!!
