Please tell me if this is normal!

I went for my first fill today and when the doctor inserted the needle I felt a pop and felt something move inside my abdomen in my port area. My mother heard the pop. Is this popping noise and sensation normal with the first fills or with all fills? I'm scared that my port may have come dislodged or flipped. I didn't want to may a big fuss about it already because my doctor had already accused me of not following the rules 10 minutes earlier and I didn't want to create another situation where he felt he needed to accuse me of something.

During my first fill there was also a "pop" feeling, but I didn't hear a noise. The Dr. explained the port is encapsulated with scar tissue and she explained it is like a scab and that the first time she inserts the needle she has to get through the hard surface. So the "pop" I felt was normal. She then said after a while the body absorbs the tissues more easily like losing the scab on the skin and the second time is easier. So the second time came around and it was easier! The needle totally went in with no problem and no pop feeling. That was my experience, but you can always call and ask to speak to the nurse to make sure. :unsure:

I FELT a pop as well on my first and second fill...I didnt feel it during my slight unfill so I think it's normal the first 2-3 times...

Yea I feel and hear slight pops and clicks when I get my fills..i never asked cause I just assumed that it was nornal...but I noticed I hear or feel it more as I lose more weight and get fills.
