Its not 100% clear if you have had a fill before fizzpot, or if you are referring in more general terms about the needle mark usually being by a scar. Hopefully to alay your fears ... the port is generally stitched in nowadays. Mine has moved a couple of inches however ... As you lose weight and your insides shrink it will do. in your case it could be down to swelling subsiding, laying in a different position, or even just a different angle the nurse has decided to enter the port. I wouldn't overly concern yourself. If she was worried, I am sure she would have done something about it. Relax and enjoy the journey x

Hi , thanks for your replies, I was banded in April, no weight loss of significance I have 11 in a 14ml but this is the first time the needle marks been in a different place, and she mentioned the position was set back, it's still sore to the touch and gives me a weird quivering feeling if I touch it in a certain way(the port) xx

sorry can't really help, maybe ring your provider see if they would x-ray you.

Mine was tilted when I went for first fill and they said it was quite set back but apparently this is how the surgeon does it who did mine.

I get that 'funny' feeling when having the fill, know what you mean.

Have they said why you haven't lost any weight if you were banded in April??? seems a long time not to have lost x
