i been banded in july and i went into for my third fill about 3 weeks ago and the doctor couldnt get to my port had my xray done and everything looked good so i went back this monday and he still couldnt get to my port which means that my port flipped he wants me to have surgery to correct this but im not sure if i can? im looking for people out there that as had surgery because of a port flipped and need to know how hard is it really to your body. my doctor is around 4 hours away so if i do this which supposely takes a morning for everything then i would have to drive back home which is about a 4 hour drive maybe 5 depending on the traffic. i have two kids a 3 year old and a 5 year old and i would leave them with my mother when i do this but i will need to pick them up after the surgery and drive home. my doctor dont feel comfortable with me driving home so advise me to get someone to come with me. but sadly i havent told anyone about this surgery i did and that asking them to drive me 4 or 5 hours each way to do this is just not reasonable. my husband is currently in iraq so he is not an option either. so i guess what im looking for is, is it possible to be able to drive home after surgery and will i be able to take care of my kids afterwards? the doctor says its an easy procedure but the more i think about it the more im thinking about not doing it. my kids come first and if i have to stop my weight loss then i guess then that will have to do.

same thing happen to me. xray looked good. my doc wants to do surg. but i called a dif doc that said he will try the fill he thinks my doc was hitting side of port..
