I had my first fill on Tuesday. The doctor did it without xray and it took 3 pricks for him to find my port. The fill was successful but I have developed a significant lump and bruise at the site of the final prick. Has anyone else had this and how long does it take for the lump to go down...or away. It is also very tender.

ya i have had that its from them digging around and it will go away i don't really remember how long it took but it does go away.

I get one every time..I bruise rather easily and am on a blood thinner, so I imagine that has something to do with it...The last one lasted 2 weeks.

Best of luck,

Lorraine

l also get a lump and slight bruising after getting a fill. It is from the doctor trying to find the spot where the needle should go. When you start to loose weight I think it's harder for them to find "the spot" because he never had a problem until thirty lbs was gone!

Thanks for your answers...I guess I just have to be patient.

I think that's pretty normal. Don't worry.
