First fill a no go!

[JanB23 23]

Went to the surgeon today and he was going to do my first fill - i am 7 weeks post op - haven't lost any weight in 2 weeks - my scales say different but thats another story. Any way doc couldn't access my port but removed 20mls of Fluid that was surrounding my port - a bit of a mystery as to what caused the fluid - clear yellow fluid. Put the needle in 4 times looking for port and removing the fluid. Ouch! Any way i now have to have my fill done under xray. I hope the port hasn't flipped! Doctor wanted to do it next week but i will be interstate and then he is going to be away for 3 weeks after that so i have to wait till the 25th November. Apart from wondering if everything is OK i am hungry and starting eat more. I don't want to put any weight back on so i am going to have to be really strong and try to make good choices.

Anyone else have fluid around their port?

It sounds like a seroma...I can't explain it very well, but many ppl here have had one for different reasons. I think if you search engine it you can find a good explanation. I do not think it is anything to worry about. Good luck with your next fill attempt.

Animal surgery is not successful? I do not think it so bad. hope you'll find methods for you. I think you'll do it.
