I have to get surgery...again

Okay so I went for my first fill on Aug 25th but i couldn't get it because some how my port was flipped on it's side and the doctor tried to flip it back and it didn't budge, so therefore my surgery is Monday, he just he's not removing the band he's just flipping my port up the way it needs to be. Now I wonder what was the cause of it flipping? I think maybe the first week of my surgery, I was doing zumba, maybe that could be???? I don't know, but this time buddy i'm just going to walk, not doing zumba until November, because I don't want to mess anything up, im not scared only because now i know what to expect from the surgery...least i get a week off of work...anyway I lost 24 lbs so far, I would have lost more if it wasn't for my damn port

Wow that sucks having to do it a second time. My first week after surgery I couldn't have done zumba, so you must be a fast healer. You'll be back up in no time & everybody loves time off from work :biggrin:

I'm not nervous now someone cleared it up for me they had it happen to them it has something to do with fatty tissue when they attach your port to it, i must have lost some of that tissue which caused it to flip and they don't have to go through all those incisions again i'll only have one, so I feel good about it, i started to think i made a bad decision, but im good now

You're not supposed to do anything but walk for the first 4 weeks, so it's more than likely the Zumba that caused it to flip, where you lifting things too? Either way all the best to you for a speedy recovery and getting back to that Zumba!

Everything will be fine. I fell down stairs a week after my surgery just had my first fill 8/27/10. they found my port but i got nervous because they were sending others to hospital for xray. because they could not find the port. no one said anything about that.
