Port Unattached/Flipped TWICE

Interested in finding out if I'm the only lucky one. I had surgery in July '07. Tried to get my first fill in Sept, found out my port had flipped. Had surgery the next week to reattach. Went last week for a fill and the thing did it again. It's just roving around in my belly, of course backwards so I can't get a fill either. Having surgery again next week. My doctor was very upset, said she has never had this happen and can't understand why it keeps happening.

I was banded on 1/12/08 and just went for my 1st fill yesterday 4/8/08. Doc couldn't get in my port and feels there is a hernia present. I'm heading for a CT Scan next week to see what's going on. I was very dissapointed. I hope it is just this once. Sorry you had to go through it 2X. What does the port rpair/replace intail???

I was banded 11/07

March 15 noticed seroma

Dr. said due to popped stitch and flipped port

Been healed for about two weeks

Now the seroma is back

Right back where I started...

See surgeon on Monday

Hi Kim,

Just wanted to let you know your not the only one, i have been banded six years, a couple of years ago i had surgery because the port flipped and then last month it did it again but i was lucky enough that it flipped itself back!

Good luck the second time around, will be thinking of you
