Hi,

I was banded Nov. 2. I went to my surgeon on Dec. 14th for my first fill. He tried several times, but "couldn't find" my port. I go back on Dec. 31 to try again, but now I'm nervous about him not finding it again. Anyone else have this problem?

The nurse had problems finding my port on both fills. I had to lift both legs in the air to get the muscle to stand out that supports my port. She did get it but is wasn't easy. I had to do the same thing with the second fill. I just am not in good enough shape to do double leg lifts! :embarassed:

That is wild! I wonder if they could use and xray to help find it?

This week when I went for my 1st fill after months of waiting and was disappointed the doctor couldn`t find my port he thinks its flipped. Now I have to wait until the New Year for a Xray and then see the doctor again. I`m feeling this band has been a waste of time.

THe PA put a pillow under my back so it arches up the midriff, she said that helps her find the port better and as I lose more weight it will be easier to find.
