Went to 5 month post op visit. TWL54 lbs. Have had one fill 5 cc in my allergan band...Dr had a hard time accessing port 2 months ago..5 sticks. Now for my second fill NP tried three times and then called surgeon..he attempted three times with no success. Have to go back Friday to try to have fill done in the OR with fluoroscopy if not successful they will go ahead with revision...hopefully just the port. Dr thinks to weight loss in abdominal area has caused port to shift. Tummy is very sore tonight where they physically tried to.manipulate port. No matter what happens Friday I am still happy to have started this journey!

I wouldn't worry too much about it...I'll bet once they can SEE it....they can hit it. Seeings as how they did manage to "find" it the first time...hopefully it hasn't flipped over. I never understood how that happens...( port flip ) although you do read about it on here at times. From past posters, it appears to be a simple fix though.

Just one more reason I'm glad my surgeon has the fluoro machine in the OFFICE. Although mine is easy to find...now.

Best of luck to you on your continued success.
