My port is sideways

My port sticks out considerably and sometimes is right sideways. Anyone encountered this. Is painful at times. I am 4 months out

Sideways? You mean it's standing on it's side and one of the edges is pushing up against the outer skin?

My port is what they call tilted but in other words sideways. I am 6 months out and at times I have a little discomfort there. When I have gotten fills they have to press on it a certain way to have it lay flat to be able to do the fill. They have said they can go in and fix it and it is a minor surgery but to me it is not that bad where I want another surgery right now.

Yes sometimes I can see the edge. It does hurt but sometimes it pinches. Thanks for sharing it makes me feel a bit more normal

My doc said it is a pretty easy procedure to fix it. So far I can live with it so I am just going to live with it this way

I will have it looked at on my next visit. We wil most likely wait until I am closer to goal to move it
