Mcrutchky 30 Posted November 14, 2013 So, today I went in for a fill (my fourth). The nurse always has a little bit of trouble because my port is crooked/twisted so that the center is a little hard to find. Today, she could Not get it. I have to travel to the main office tomorrow so the doctor can do my fill. Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe I am just weird. On a side note, she apologized for the bruise I will have from today. I told her it was ok because I am not into a bikini yet and when I am, my port will not be as necessary to find. I think a little bruise to get to green may be ok :-) (We giggled over that!) Truthfully, I doubt I would ever wear a bikini because I know I will have extra skin, but I love being on here because you guys give me hope that I will be able to be healthy and thin enough to be able to!

cheryl2586 3,053 Posted November 14, 2013 There are a few possibilities but I am sure your surgeon will figure it out. I hope your port has not flipped. It is not a big deal you would just have to get it fixed surgically but maybe it is just crooked. I wouldn't worry about it until you see your surgeon.

Bandista 7,466 Posted November 14, 2013 Hi M, maybe they will use fluoroscopy to see exactly what the angle is for ease of future fills...... I'm not exactly ready for a bikini either -- actually I don't think I ever wore one as an adult! But I look forward next summer to a couple of pretty sundresses. That's something to hold on to as a goal through these cold winter months while I'm working my a** off, literally. Not to mention working the belly off. The Winnie-the-Pooh look just does not work on me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherlock1969 231 Posted November 14, 2013 My doctor said my port is a little 'weird' too....he has me push out my stomach and laugh out loud and that helps him find it everytime. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mcrutchky 30 Posted November 15, 2013 Well I got the fill. She had to try 2 times. It made it easier for her for me to do a crunch. I did find out I definitely cannot stand when they do it. I felt like I could pass out!! That is when she had me lay back down. Thanks for your comments. I was a little nervous. Oh and I can't wait to wear the cute sundresses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
