I was banded on Jan.12,2012 I had my first fill on Feb.22 , After being stuck at least 9 times, probing , bleeding , and pain my doctor informed me that my port has flipped over that's why the needle was not going into the port but was going into my skin. She said that i may have to go back into surgery to get my port placed correctly. I don't know how this could have happened I'm so upset about this but ,they have to be able to have access to my port without probing and sticking me over and over again. Have this happened to anyone else?

oh yes I have had plenty of problems with them accessing the port....I am terrified of that needle and let my port go for a year throwing up 10 or more times a day because I was so afraid of the needle....I went into kidney failure and dehydration and finally started to lose some weight but had to get some fluid out. I am finally feeling better throwing up less but I have gained twenty pounds in less than a month so now the depression is setting in bad.........don't know what to do now....
