Well I was finally able to get my first fill Tuesday (4/10). I have little to no restriction. He had to do it via flouro because my port is flipped He was talking to another radiologist that was with him and he said they usually flip 90 he had never seen one flip a full one 180. I did not get to talk to him much but I have a feeling mine is flipped 180 based on how he had to put the needle in. He did not discuss fixing it with me.

Have any of you had a flipped port?

I just can't cut a break.

I know that they normally have to do minor surgery to fix a flipped port. Some do this under local I believe, others under a seditive. Let us know how it goes, remember a fill can kick in 10-14 days later. Also if they are able to access the port maybe it will be fine as is. ~Mandy

I started a new Chicago Friends thread, so it would be a bit shorter....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
