Does anyone self adjust their band? I am a nurse so have no qualms doing it it myself, I just need some needles. But does anyone on here do it themselves?

I need to find out the size of needle needed and will probably want some local anaesthetic as I'm not sure I will be able to get past the stab myself barrier lol!

Lol, my mums a nurse and said after my 2 years of free band fills she'll do it for me :) I wasn't sure whether this was a good idea so if you have done it yourself please update!

If you did find out the size of the needle etc please let me know ;)

I've been told it's a special needle caked a Huber needle so that the port isn't punctured but I'd be very careful prob not the best idea!

I know of two people who have their own needles to be able to defill if needed in an emergency, however they still go to their surgeon/doc for refills
