[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1321127, member: 32394"] Depends where you site the cannula really. Most pumps require site changes every 3 days so if you find where you have it to be uncomfortable you'll only have to move it in a day or two anyway, so it's no big deal. I hate being cannulated in hospital. Having a pump in doesn't feel anything like that for me. I often forget where I've sited my pump and have to give myself a little pat down to find it. Have look on YouTube for people actually using and placing pumps. Have a little Google for belts and things to wear pumps in to make sure they are nice and comfy and tucked away. It all ends up working fine when you find a way that suits you. [/QUOTE]
