How many times have your had your port fixed

Can people please tell me how many of you and how many times you have had your port fixed because it has flipped, and over what period of time. I had my port repositioned because was pretruding 3 weeks ago, then went back to doctore who said port flipped, had to have surgery again 5 days ago, now the port one minute is under my bandage then above the bandage then under again so is moving ekk,hopefully not slipped again, i had no problems until decided did not like it protruding.

My port flipped 3 1/2 months after banding. I had port revision surgery and have not had any problems with my port since.

Mine flipped once and I had it fixed 2 months after my 1st surgery. It has been 8 months since my revision and I have no other problems.

My port flipped -- probably when I got a stomach bug in Feb and had dry heaves for 10 hours! UGH!

Anyhow, it was moved up under my left breast and stitched to the muscles over my ribs. That baby ain't goin' NO WHAR!!!

I was banded May 8 & have had a few instances where I was reaching for something & had terrible pain at my port site. Do you know what this might be?
