Flower, it is normal to have no restriction when you have NO fill...it is also normal to eat when you have NO fill. Relax! You will know soon enough if your port has flipped or not...if it has you get it fixed, if it hasnt , you get your fills. No need to consume yourself now with worry and stress, not a darn thing you can do about it until you go in for the fluoro, you will make yourself carzy stressing about it. I'm sorry you are gooing through this but the best thing you can do for youself right nwo id to relax and wait for the results :)

Hi Flower,

My doctor always does the first fill with a contrasted x-ray so that he can see where the port is (maybe this is the same thing as the fluoro that La Madam was referring to?). I haven't had my surgery yet, so maybe I'm not the best one to give you advice; I just wanted to tell you to hang in there. You are NOT doomed to be fat, and you WILL get through this. Good luck!

I just wanted to let you know I went through the same thing. My port area was very sore and bruised for about 6 weeks. I had no restriction AT ALL by the time I got my first fill and had actually put some weight back on. Today I had my 8th fill taking me up to 8.9ml in a VG band. Dont worry!!!!! You WILL feel restriction when you start getting fills, it does come :D

I forgot to add that my port feels like it moves all the time...especially when I bend, every fill I have had has been under fluro and it hasnt moved, it is still securely in place.
