Hi All,
I have an issue - after a fill (I've had 6 fills now, surgery was 11/2010) I have pain to the touch on my stomach around the port. The pain is restricting exercise - once I push it too far, I'm in pain. In addition, my last fill, the doctor said the port was twisted. He spent a lot of time with the needle in my stomach moving the port so it was facing front. It was very painful.
Has anyone gone through this? Is there a bigger issue or is this normal? Any feedback and advice would be great. Thanks!
