  12. So two weeks ago I told you all about my flipped port< was told by dr office its "no big deal to fix" Well first let me tell you, im in more pain from the incision than I was with the initial surgery secondly I felt like there was no9 clinical support from the practice.....I think cause it was kind of their screw up they want to sweep it under the rug ... I think I should have been treated like a queen and spoken to people from the group (maybe a doc???)pre and post going into surgery..... no big deal to them but huge deal to me.... they did a 1 cc fill while in there and I feel more restricted then ever... im now 5 and can barely eat not sure if its still swelling from being open, but that is the port are or if this is normal....any ideas???
