I did have however issues right after it was placed. Basically, I felt like a butterfly with a stake through the chest. When I complained I was told that it was just in my head!? This did not sit to well with me. Back in Hospital when I was getting the port installed I talked with another gastroenterologists who happened to walk by. ... Oh you just loosen it up a bit.... Since then no problem at all!
