port flipped?????



Recommended Posts

How can I tell if my port flipped?? I'm 6 wks post op. I'm going in tomorrow for my first fill and now I'm getting myself worried that my port flipped. I could feel the port before and it was right side up. Now it seems to be on its side, but the side that faces outward is the side thats larger. Let me know if I'm wrong but they can only use the needle to fill from one side of the port and that's the side that is a little smaller in dimension right?

I think that if you have your fill tomorrow then it would be best to wait till you see what your doctor says dont work yourself up over a flipped port so soon. your only 6 weeks post op what do you think you did to cause a flip? from what i understand they sew the port to the muscle so it would be very hard to filp it...Just take a deep breath relax and know that even if it is flipped they can fix it :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.
