Is there anyway your doctor can miss your port and how do you know? I had a new dr today and it just didn't feel right. I dunno maybe it felt weird cus I knew she was new or something. Any suggestions?

I would think it would be pretty hard to miss the port but I am no Dr.... you could ask her to take it all out and see how much is in there...

I agree with Floridays. Ask how much is supposedly in your band, then ask them to verify how much is actually in there by drawing it out. It's the only way you'll know for sure.

My doc always removes all that is there and then returns it with the added amount.

At my last fill my dr thought I might have a leak because he could only get 2 of the 5 cc's out but since I have had another fill of 5.5 cc's and no problems and I actually have some restriction now. When I asked him where the fluid went he said sometimes when I pull the fluid out and inject it back in it feels like he is going through the port membrane and in reality he is just feeling the needle going through scar tissue. He said the only way to be 100% sure is to do the fill with fluro.

My last fill gave me another huge bruise and I really think they missed my port. It was a brand new practitioner very sore at port? Don't feel any new restriction at all! . I am going back next week to find a solution! Good luck with yours!
