Sad couldn't get my fill today

Went to get my fill and wasn't successful because my port looks flipped. Going to see my surgeon tomorrow in hopes he is able to do my fill, if not I may have to have another surgery to flip my port back around. Has anyone ever had this problem? :(

I had this happen on my very first fill. I went back in a couple of days later and they checked it under x-ray. It was flipped so they went ahead and put me to sleep to flip it back where if needed to be. The surgery wasn't bad, and I haven't had any more issues with it.
