My doctor says because of the depth of my port he will probably be doing the fills in radiology so as to aid in visualization. Has anyone had this done?

I just had this done wednesday. It's simple you lay on this table they pull a machine over you then poof there is a pic of your insides on a tv screen and the doc knows there the port is. The fill itself feels a little weird. It's over quick, don't worry.

i havent had any fills yet but my dr only does fills this way

2 months ago, they xrayed my insides and it was pretty interesting to watch

the barium go through

My doctor does all fills under floroscopy. I stand and they find my port, stick the needle in, then they look at my band and stomach after they have added fluid. I drink some yucky stuff and they see how fast it flows through, if it goes to fast they add more, to slow they take some out. Not a big deal.

So I can go to work after it is done? Anyone had any problems?

Nope never had any problems. I always go home and work out afterwards and then cook dinner for my hubs and I have my shake.
