Port moved? 4th fill - 1st time with pain

I was filled on Wed., which was my 4th fill. The doctor had a bit of trouble finding the port, and had to "dig around" in there. It hurt then, and it hurts now. I have a quarter-sized bullseye/bruise in the middle of my abdomen. Has anyone else had their port move up after time (been 6 months for me) and the dr. had to search for it? It used to be right above my incision scar, and now he "hit me" about an inch above that. I know he stitched it into place at the time of surgery.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I had the same problem today at my second fill. The first time was pain free, but today it hurt like heck and he had to dig around forever! I started panicking that my port had flipped. It doesn't hurt now that it is over, thankfully!

It is not unusual for your port to move,as you lose weight your body changes and moves things around.My port is maybe two inches higher now than it was at the start.If you look there is plenty of topics that refer to the port moving.

I have had the same thing happen. The doctor found it ok, because he feels around first, but he even commented on it had shifted some because of some weight loss. I have noticed though that since that fill, I have a pulling sensation sometimes at the port site. Like it is still drifting a little and pulling on scar tissue. Especially when my arms are above my head doing something. Anyone else have this?
