Has anyone flipped their port?

Please let me know if you have ever done this. Last Saturday, I walked for an hour on the elliptical and then in the park. The next day it began, bad port pain :( almost the way we felt after surgery. I haven't been able to return to the gym since ... I'm now on week 5 and had been feeling totally healed and fine until this occurred.

Can anyone tell me if they have had pain and it was due to a flipped port?? I read nothing about people being in pain from flipping their port, but that they don't have much restriction and I assumed I had zero restriction because I haven't had a fill. Also the band is totally empty, not even a small fill ( I was told by the surgeons office.)

I am calling the office on Monday for an X-ray I'm scared :(

Thanks for listening and any feedback is appreciated.

Mine was sideways when I went in for my first fill. The PA had to press on it to be able to reach the front. I was numbed for the shot so i didn't feel it too bad until later and the next day the whole area was bruised. I still feel some discomfort when I bent too far down.

I hope it is nothing serious and that your dr can provide you with some quick reassurance.

I have never heard of this but I do think you are on the right track by seeing you doc's office. Take it easy until then and good luck. Hope you feel better. :huh:

My port flipped completely over, no pain at all, only way we found out was couldn't di a fill and fluro showed it upside down. Had revision Jan 236 and all things good.

Try not to worry !

Thanks for sharing your experiences. It's a little bit of a relief hearing that there's no pain involved so maybe I did something else. Hoping I didn't bust internal stitches or anything :/ will keep you posted.
