Hi, I was banded June 15 and scheduled for my first fill July 11. the NP had a very hard time finding the port(lots of poking and brusing) she thought that it flipped so I had x rays done ( I work in a urgent care so so I could get it done quickly) the Dr. looked at the x rays and said it was in the right place. YEA, So July 18(my birthday) he was able to find the port with me standing up, the NP then tried it and found it( with me laying down). Next fill Aug 1 took the NP about 5 minutes to find it. OK Aug 15 after 30 min of poking and she can not get it,she then stands me up and gets it. I am not numb at this point its like 2 inches higher than she was going when I was laying down. Anyone else havining these kinds of issues. My husband does not want me to see her again but I dont have 2 hrs to wait in the Dr. office. Next fill scheduled Aug 29.
