My Doctor Failed To Alocate The Filling Port

What should I do.

I made x ray before we try the filling

And every things seems ok

After he penetrates the needle he kept toutching the port but never succeeded to alocate the right spot

So he suggest that we should wait for another 2weeks and try again

Did the doctor use the xray machine to try to locate it? I know that my dr always does this rather than trying to just feel for the port.

I agree with Cazzy. His responsability not yours.

Did he say what difference 2 weeks will make ? .. sorry but this just doesnt sound right, is he a very experienced surgeon ? does he normally do his own fills .. u need to ask a lot more quqestions than what u seem to have done , u are paying his wages through your insurance i would arm yourself with a lot more questions written down to take with you next time in case it happens again. I know sometimes it can be intimidating and u can feel vulnerable when u are laying there but this is a serious issue if he cant fill you, it will render the band pretty useless ...

He said that we need 2weeks to avoid any bruses or inflamation that may be caused by the first trial

He is the same doctor that made the operation ,and he supposed to be a good experienced one

when did you have your surgery?
