I went into the doctor yesterday and I had lost restriction about a week after my fill of 3.5 cc . He pulled out ..2 cc he gave me some theory that when I was done under fluroscopy that when the radilogist did not withdrawl the needle fast enought there for possibly leaked at that point.. I am thinking my port leaked anyone have any ideas or thought on losing a 1.5 cc .. is this normal? did i have a leak?
current fill is 3.2 cc saline
old fill was 3.5 cc fill under fluroscopy saline

Thanks
Lisa

Lisa, you could have a small leak. I had one and it was repaired with a thicker solution that saline. If you are filled under flouro and still leak I would assume that is what is going on. You can be filled with a "fix a flat" solution. It is exactly like fixing a flat tire. Good luck.
