xNTI chip missing?
I had a xNTI chip implanted in my right hand last july.
I had some trouble getting it to respond to readers but after some searching it would respond.
But it seems to be gone now... I get no response from it through any reader and I can't feel it anymore on the spot it used te be located.
Anyone had the same experience? Is it possible it will happen again when I get magnets implanted?

Eh, I'm going to assume since you can't feel it, the chip has just settled lower over time. I have a single chip that I can't feel and it's the same way, extremely difficult to read - if I get a read at all.
It's going to just come down to placement - for both chips and magnets.

I had a magnet disappear from my fingertip. It was put in with a single stitch, and since my first attempt rejected I was super careful to stay away from anything magnetic with it until it healed lest I stress the healing tissue. When it was healed enough to try it out, I felt nothing and nothing would stick to it. The magnet was gone. I even went so far as to get my hand x-rayed - sure enough, nothing there. It must have fallen out early in the healing process without me noticing. It's still an absolute mystery to me how I could have managed it.
