Gm everyone , I had the lapband surgery almost 2 yrs ago and I lost A total of 71lbs. After all that my Dr. has to go back in to raise my port and flip it back around because it had turned on it's side when it is suppose to be laying flat. Did this every happen to anyone else? if so plz tell me more about it:help: I am so afraid to have this done again.

Sound scary. I hope someone out there can give you some support and advise. Did they say how it happened or why it turned?

Hang in there and I a sure it will be fine!

It's an easy surgery. Usually it's done in the MD office unless he doesn't have the instruments necessary.

They can numb you up and do it or if you are a weenie butt like me they can do it in OR while you are asleep. But really, it's no big deal.

My port flipped and I am having revision surgery on the 28th of November. I had only my lapband for 7 weeks before it flipped.

My dr said the recovery time should be quicker. I have to go back in the hospital to have it done. He said he will just reopen my port incision. Remove the port and put a new one in, stitch it to the muscle and sow it back up.

you will be fine. Good luck!
