I think it's one of the more common problems we could have. But how I was clueless that it happened, it doesn't always hurt where your port is. I had a quick sharp pain under my left boob probably a month ago. Literally hurt a SECOND. But since it was so high up away from my port it never crossed my mind that's what it was. Yep.

It's costing right at $1200 for the revision. And you do have to go back to the hospital and be put under. However, there's no gas (yaaaay!) and they only open the port incision, not the other 4 as well. So recovery isn't nearly as bad. And now it's HIGHLY unlikely I'll ever have another port issue.

They fix it by attaching some mesh like they use for hernias to my abdominal muscles, then attach the port to that. My Dr said out of the thousands of band's he's done there has been 2 people that had 2 port revisions and 1 person has had 3.

Oh, and if you do an egg put it in something like salad. Not boiled and by itself. Eeeek.
