Becky,

I don't think you have to worry too much. The port is between the skin and muscle so the needle only passes thru the skin and into the port. I've had too fills and never felt either and they had trouble getting into my port becaase it has tipped. May face a minor proceedure down the road to correct this tipping but Dr says as long as they know its tipped they will be able to hit it on first try.

1st fill it was 4 pokes to find it 2nd fill was one poke but he had to hunt with the needle to get in. Never once felt the needle or anything. Needle out little clean up of the entry area and buy the time I got home you couldn't even see where they went in.

You'll be fine. And this is from a guy who passes out at blood test.

Thanks, Greg. :)

I'm not worried about the poke. I had a fill and unfill already and it doesn't hurt at all. I'm concerned about the tightness and having more irritation in my esophagus. I don't want to end up on liquids again. :ermm
