Port Replacement after 2nd Fill

[Ravenesqued 0]

Hello Sept. Samurai's, well guess what? I was admitted into the hospital after a failed 2nd fill. This time the doctor tried to fill me instead of the P.A.'s - Remember what a mess my first fill ended up being? So, the doc found my port no problem but could not extract saline it was just air. So, I decided to make another appt under fluoroscopy. Before I left I was to drink Water even though I had no saline injected. OMG! I could'nt drink the water it came back up and for the first time I had the pressure and heart burn feeling and ended up PBing. The pain did not subside and I was sliming and I was scared. The doc admitted me into the hospital for a port replacement.

What had occured she thinks is that since I had 2 P.A.'s and Dr. Le Port trying to locate my port for the first fill and guessing on how many cc's they put in when my 2nd fill occured it pushed the saline from the first fill 6 weeks ago down to the tube near the stoma. This obviously was too much for me. I had surgery 10:30a.m the following morning and was told that I had 10cc's in a 9cc band! What the @#%? I was closed up with 2cc's in my Realize band and now 4 days post-op and recovering well.

How many of you have had to have a port replacement since September Surgeries? have you had a fill since then and was everything okay?

I had a port flip, but thankfully it's back where it should be. They blamed it on a muscle spasm. I don't think so.

I'm sorry you're having so many issues.
