Trouble finding port?

[ellenmarie 0]

Just wondering if anyone else had trouble with their first fill and trying to find the port. I recieved my first fill yesterday and it took three tries to finally find it. Now I am all bruised and wondering if it's going to be like this for every fill.

It's not uncommon.

Now hopefully your surgeon knows where it is which should make it easier for him to find next time.

My 1st fill took 7 sticks .. 4 by the NP then the doc 3 tries .. as well I was a bruised mess. I went back 2 weeks later and luckily was still a little bruised so finding it was easier .. but still took 4 tries to get it. As I get thinner and we try different positioning its getting easier. The NP also says the port will tip more in the direction of my breasts as my structure changes. I now lay on my side and the fat shifts to the opposite direction. The NP has also drawn a little map in my chart as to where it is in correllation of scars as markers.
