Doc. Found Less Saline in the Port, Help!!

[anonymous_frnw 0]

I am so scared.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

I was at the doctor's today for a n unfill and instead of finding 3cc he found only 2. He never had a problem with finding my port so he never poked twice. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

He sending me to do an esophagram, what is it? how different is I from fluoroscopy? <o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

Help, what can it be??? Has anyone experienced such a thing? <o:p></o:p>

I could be wrong but I think it's the same thing as an upper GI where you drink barium and they watch it on x-ray. I'm not a doctor but I had my upper GI done yesterday to see what was causing my chest pains.

So maybe they can see if there's a leak in your band or something. A doctor is usually there to read it so hopefully you can find out soon so don't worry too much, Nancy.:thumbup:

Thanks for taking your time to respond. I took the test, it is as you described. Everything is ok, however, it does not check for leakage, so I will wait a little and maybe it will be good next time I go.<o:p></o:p>
