I had a port installed a year and a half ago and have no regrets. I guess I had partial sedation - out but not totally under. Can't remember how long I was at the hospital - maybe a couple of hours. I had some pain afterwards. I think they tweeked a nerve in my neck. But now, being accessed is a piece of cake and my arms thank me every day they don't have to be poked.
