knarba: don't know if this will make it to you...not sure what i am doing. i saw that you had your port repositioned. on my latest visit to the doctor, the fill wasn't working. he said he thought there may be a leak. an x-ray indicated that the tube and port connection have probably detached. he would have to do a contrast to know for sure. if this is the case, he said i would just need a new port (i quess just under the skin). the whole laproscopy would not be needed. was this considerably less costly than the whole procedure or still lots of cash? i am out of pocket by now. thanks for your information.
