3rd fill - Problems

bombaman · 09-05-2008, 03:44 PM

Hi all!
I went in for my 3rd fill and the np had a terrible time hitting the port. The first fill was a bad experience and the 2nd was fine because I had them numb me. No numbing on the 3rd and that was a mistake. I think this office is against numbing. All i hear is that the lidocane burns worse...nope!

Anyway...the np gave me 1.5 cc's so I'm up to 4 cc's. She had me drink water...i guess to test. No restriction but I now I'm sick to my stomach. Is this normal?

What size band to you have? I haven't felt sick at all after 2 fills. Cross my fingers. I would ask to have them either mark the port area or give you something to numb it. There really isn't a reason we should be a pin cushion. I think sometimes they stress people out and they feel alot worse. Second fill for me and I'm at 6cc.

Did you get sick after you ate or just after the fill. I ate about 2 hours ater the fill and had my first pb. Went back to liquids for day and a half. Still feel this fill one more than the first one. I get the heart burn after 1/2 cup of chicken and 1cup green salad haven't finished it either. I wonder if I'm eating to fast. I taking real small bites, guess I'll live an learn. Once the burn goes away I'm good for hours.
