FLIPPED PORT

By redhead8691

· 465 views

I had surgery July 5. Everything has been going fine, but today when I went for my second fill they said my port was flipped completely over. The doctor was not in the office. The nurse tried to flip it over, but it wouldn't work, so now I have to go back next week for the dr. to fix it. They said it will be done in the office with local anesthetic, so I won't be out. I am nervous about being cut open again because I am a nurse and often have heavy patients. So I am concerned about going back to work that night after being cut open to fix it. Anyone else have this happen?

    Have faith in your surgeon! I have heard of this..not that I have had it done to me..just heard of it. But if you have faith everything will be fine! I would double check about going to work that night!! Take care and wish you didn't have to go thru this!

    Best of luck to you fellow July 5 bandster! Please keep us posted with how it goes - it could happen to any of us at any time. Also, did he/she say what caused the port to flip???:huh:
