Need your fill opinion.....Please

OK guys I need your opinion….

Here’s the deal, I went for a fill in June to come away with nothing, they could not find the port. OK I can deal with that.

I went again Sept 1st, still unable to find / get into, what they thought was the port. They send me to fluoro to check to make sure my port was not flipped, it’s not. I was told even though I’ve lost 65 lbs I was still to fat to get to the port because they didn’t have long enough needles. (They only have 2 inch needles) I can deal with this too.

Well… Where you come in is,

I found another Dr. who does his under fluoro if needed. His fills are $130.00 his fluoro a extra $350.00 (not by his choice). I saw him on Sept 17th.
After 1 hour of repeated poking he managed to put in 2 cc’s but when I stood up the needle came out. So he quit.
  1. He tells me when that if I would have had him do a sleeve I wouldn’t be having this problem.
  2. He also tells me, I need to have the excess fat carved off if I want to have easier future fills. A sort of tummy tuck and when I get to goal have another one.
  3. He also said my line is in front of my port and my port is to low…..He wants to reposition my port, while on the table.
My question for you all is ….

Does it sound like he just wants my money…. Have any one of you had this problem….
If my line is in front of my port don’t you think the other fluoro tech would have told me this???
This procedure all together cost me $570.00.… Fill, Fluoro, Fuel, and not to mention the 10 hours of drive time.
I’m now wondering if I should just go back to Mexico and see my surgeon….
What do you all think????? I need your opinions….. And to add to this I really like the Dr.
