Quick question.......I had to have all the fluid removed from my band today to have an endoscopy. I just looked at my little band aid (hours later) that the doc put over the injection site and it is FAR BELOW where he normally gives me fills????? I know this because he ALWAYS goes above my port scar and this time it is below??? He managed to get out 7cc when I should have 8cc but he said it does not always come out. Could he have gone into the tubing instead?? I am going to call tomorrow but I am wondering if, as we lose weight, the port can situate itself lower? Anybody know???

It could be the difference in location when you are sitting or standing up vs laying down. The way the scar and port line up is very different when you are in different positions.

As I've lost weight, the position of my port has shifted quite a lot. I wonder if the same has happened for you.

thanks BetsyB...I am hoping that is it and I will ask him about it when I go back in. I am always in the same position for fills/unfills so that will not be the difference. Thanks

The position can change and they can get to it from different angles.

My doctor sometimes does it from on top of my port and sometimes below it.
