How common is it for a port to flip?

By Sarah8807

I was reading some of the forums online about flipped ports...It really freaked me out. Just wondering if anyone knows what the chances of this happening are? I have got up a little fast and sat down the wrong way a couple times since surgery and it really hurt around my port area (trying to be as careful as possible...) and Im sure Im ok...but It just made me wonder how easy or hard is it to flip your port?....

    I really don't know statistically what the odds are but mine is tilted a little and difficult to access except under xray. I know it can happen but only the doctor can tell if it is flipped when he goes to access to fill. I am pretty sure the pain you are filling around the port site is normal from what I have read on the blogs and experieinced my self. Good luck and make sure you talk to the doctor about your concerns at your next appointment.
