Port Revision...

So I went in for my first fill and low and behold. Murphy's Law, what can go wrong will go wrong. F-ing A. My port is upside down and I have to go in for another surgery to turn it the right way and suture it to my ab muscles. Yay for me! Anyone else have this happen?

Yes, you are not alone. I was banded05/18/09. Went in for my first fill on Tuesday of this week and my port is also flipped over,:):cursing::) so I have to get mine fixed as well. I never had a clue, no pain or any other indicator that something was out of place.

Thats really bad luck. Hope your revisions go well.

All the best

When is your revision? Mine is scheduled for this coming Tuesday. Thankfully he said after I come out of the anesthesia he will do a fill. He's not the surgeon that put the band in, because they were complete idiots. And my new doctor is amazing. He was actually going to take me into surgery yesterday when he couldn't get it, just because he has never missed a port before. Thank god for good surgeons.
