1st fill GOD HELP ME

[Guest guest]

Well Im here for a winge tonight.

Dr put in a standard 10cm band, there was already 1/2 cm in it so dr

put in another 1cm.

I had my first fill today, and It was the worst experience of my

life. Not to scare anyone who hasnt had a fill yet . This apparently

is not the normal reaction.

Dr had a go in the rooms to access port, but couldnt do it easily.

said I should have it done under xray. I did expect this so this was

ok until they said next appt for a fill under xray was end on june.

This would make me 12 weeks post opp without a fill, And I wasnt

very ahppy about this. So GOD BLESS THE DR he organised to do it at

the hospital in his lunch time.. So I went to charlstown square for

a couple oh hrs. (got lost ended up in hamilton). Dr had a few goes

then changed needles, then a strange wave of heat came over me

followed by a sick feeling............ I have had quartazone

injections into joints and I thought this was painfull. Let me tell

u that it wasnt. I also had me 2 yo daughter with me thank god she

wasnt in the room.Dr said that its still very tender, swollen and

scar tissue is new because of surgery. Please tell me that this is

not what I have to go through every time. I dont think it is worth

it. left home at 9.30am this morning and just got home at 5.45pm.

what a day.Going to have some soup, as I lost the breakfast this

morning.(sorry maybe tooo many graffics). I have never soo needles

so long before. So much for . IT only feels like haveing a blood

test. Someone is telling porkies.

Hi Naz

Sorry to hear your of experience with your first fill. As Elaine

suggested it is the exception rather than the rule. I have had 3

fills in recent weeks, and I have to honestly say it was how you had

heard it - like having a blood test.

Hope you bounce back from yesterday's experience quickly. Where are

you - Hamilton - is that Tassie, NZ???

Regards

Lorraine

Yours was obviously an exception - I have had about 30fills and have never felt anything!!! My Dr gives me an anaesthetic before using the long needle.IT only feels like haveing a blood test. Someone is telling porkies.naz
