On July 18th I had my surgery to fix my flipped port. They said the stitches just pulled loose from the muscle. This Wednesday I will finally have my first fill. Praying that everything is in place now. It has been four months since my orginal surgery and I feel fortunate to have lost 52 pounds with basically no restriction yet. My doctor and the hospital covered my entire cost for the flipped port.

I hope all goes well with your surgery. Let me know. I am still waiting for hospital to make determination on whether I have to pay again for surgery. Is yours covered under insurance?

I also am having a problem with not being able to access my port. They tried under fluro and were still not able to access it. My problem is that I am a self pay. The surgeon says there is no cost for him but they are trying to get the hospital not to charge for the OR. I bought a package deal and I am very frustrated with all of this.

I had lap band surgery on April 28, 2011. I went for my first fill on June 6th. Having felt no restriction what so ever I returned for a second fill on June 13th. At that time they were unable to locate my port. The following Friday the surgeon met me and tried to fill me under fluor. He was unable to locate the port and decided I need to have revision surgery. The problem is that I am a self pay. The surgeon assures me that he will have no cost but the hospital does not want to cover this. My question is shouldn't all of the cost be covered since the darn thing never has worked?
