Want to see my port in an x-ray?
I had some x-rays done recently on my back and I was surprised at how clearly you can see my port!!! I thought this was really cool. (the rods are from a previous spinal surgery)

The quality isn't that great - I took a picture of the x-ray.

That's funny you say that. When I saw the x-rays, I called my band doctor right away to ask what that was and "alphabet soup" was how I described it to him. I guess those are the anchors for the mesh, which holds the port in place.

put up all the pics you can, it helps to know what's going on in there although you appear to have more than most of us!

Re: Want to see my port in an x-ray?
man! I've been wanting to take a pic of my port on the xray and forgot my camera last fill.

I think my clinic is using older machines, because the images look nothing like that!

Very cool :)

Re: Want to see my port in an x-ray?
I had my gallbladder out two months ago (7 months post band) and the doctor took pics for me too. I got to see in full color the way my band looks wrapped around my stomache. If anyone is interested maybe I will try to scan the picture and post it. Your picture is really cool too!

You can kind of see the actual band in one shot. I'll see if I can get a picture of it. These are full, 36" x-rays, so it's hard.

This is an actual x-ray of my back, not from a fill under floro.
