I'm not sure I understand the question. What does the difficulty getting into your port have to do with the tightness of the fill? Did he give you a too large fill because he thought he couldn't get in another time? That wouldn't be good.

Fills can get tighter within the first week, sometimes two. Or they will get looser if you lose weight. but if you get so you are barfing, can't get down good solid food, or ESPECIALLY if you can't drink, you have to have a slight unfill. Pay attention and see if this is a fill that will allow you to get good nutrition--if not, I'd go back.

But trouble accessing your port and tightness of the fill are two separate issues. If he's telling you they are related, I'd ask more questions.

i know they don't have anything to do with each other however, because he is having problems getting into my port even under fluro he was alittle more aggressive then he normally would have been in the hopes that my fill will last longer

I think what you are saying is he filled you a bit tighter since he had trouble accessing your port? How is your restriction now? If you are back on solids and eating slowly are you PBing at all?
