Port pics!



Recommended Posts

I know I promised these awhile ago but better late than never, right? My hubby had the awesome idea of injecting the port with red food coloring so you could see where the leak is. In the pics you will see the port and the tubing that were removed from me as well as the fill needle inserted into the port. Everything that is red is food coloring NOT BLOOD or marks on the port or tubing (we only had red). As the dye was injected into the port it leaked from both the front and the back of the tubing, as if it had a hole poked straight through it.

Let me know if you have any questions!

WOW that is interesting. So is there one hold or several ? It looks like to me there is one in the back and several in the front ? Or vice Versa ?

Do they know what caused it ?

Wow....veryyyy interesting.

And the fact that it probably got puncturing during a fill, is kinda scary.

Whew, these things are so delicate.

I was thinking the same thing , how delicate they are . Makes me kinda of wonder or think harder about having fills under Flouro now ?

Might be worth the extra money ?

My hubby thinks I need to email Inamed and make a suggestion that they maybe make the tubing a little stronger to be able to resist a needle puncture. Makes sense to me... it should be a little tougher!

As someone who is not banded yet , this does make me nervous . I would think that the tubing would be strong enough to with stand a needle prick since you have to get fills so often .

I would maybe send them the picture .

There is a hole in the front and one directly behind it on the back. We think it was probably punctured with a fill needle.

So if our fill doc punctures it, does the physician feel responsible to cover a new one being inserted? How do you know if it was the fill doc or a defective device? Does Inamed take any responsibility? I am a self pay and this worries me.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
