my port right now sits right above my pants waist line, and is very painfull and irritating, am wondering if that could have anything to do with my port flipping! Do they stitch the ports in place or do they just float around? I would like mine a little higher so when i bend it doe not pinch or bind.

I had my band put in November 2006, in August 2007 my fills became very painfully, port was tipped, November 2007 surgeon had done a hernia repair surgery on me, asked him to fix it then, but he didn't, next fill in February 2008 ,he did with xray was able to find port, went this past Thursday now the port is flipped, will be going in on the 24th to have it repaired. I have been hungry since August 2007, still not eating like i did before the surgery, have gain 12 pounds and am a bit discouraged. Asked the doc how he knew he was accessing the port and he said because he could draw out fluid, he told me i had in 2.5 of fluid and it can hold 4 max i told him to fill it up, i was down to 130 pounds back up to 142, i am hoping this will correct the problem, am very afraid of gaing weight back!! I started out at 216 and my goal weight it 110 to 115. Has anyone else felt hungry??
