I think they sew it to something, not sure what they sew it to.

They sew the port into the muscle.

However, mine has 'moved' or 'turned'. It's no big deal, and doesn't hurt.

It will have to be fixed, but nothing to worry about.

I only needed two fills, and each time he was able to hold the port into position as he needed.

They don't sew it to the muscle, because muscle rips, they sew it to the fascia. The fascia is the thin membrane that covers the muscle, (like when you get a chicken breast at the store and its has the thin white membrane that covers the meat, same thing.)
