Has anyone had their port to flip?

I had surgical revision of my port a week afo after it flipped. It was in the hospital and I was put into a twilight sleep but not general anesthesia, then they used local anesthesia at the incison site.

Do you know if the mesh was placed over the back side of the port? Mine has a patch of mesh that will cause scar tissue to grow and hold it into place. My doctor apparently was the first to do this in response to port flipping.

Yes. he used mesh this time. Has yours flipped?

No, I just had the surgery last week. I was told that my doctor kinda pioneered the whole mesh thing so that the port would have a really hard time flipping over a period of time due to the scar tissue holding it in place. He does it for everyone the first time. I hope you get it resolved quickly and painless.

Thanks. Unfortunately I am having more pain with this revision than I did with the original surgery. I am 8 days post op and I am still having a tiny bit of drainage also.

How is it going for you?
