Port question

[trappedinthebodyofafatgirl 0]

I just had my surgery on March 8 and went for my first fill and my port is flipped!! What to do? My surgeon said insurance may mot cover it? Anyone have this happen?

Mine is tilted but not flipped. What does your doctor say to do?

I've been reading various posts by newly banded people, whose ports are flipped, tube is kinked, etc. This all makes me very nervous. How does this s-hit happen, when they're supposed to stitch the port to the muscle? I really hope that I didn't buy into something that is going to drain me financially

Please keep us posted on the outcome of this. It's very unsettling.....

He said it needs to be surgically repaired.

How did he know that it was flipped, did you go in for a fill? I just had surgery on the 5th so hearing this really concerns me.

I went for a fill and he couldn't get the needle in the port.

From what I have read insurance will cover this

But (knock on wood) I have never had any issues thus far
