:help: Okay so my doctor goes in to fill my band, cant find the band so he puts me under X ray and after about 30 mins of poking me with a six inch needle he figures out that my port is sideways and cant get to it.. tommorw im having it fixed but not going all the way under...has anyone had this? what should i expect?

I only know of one who has but as far as I know, she isnt on LBT. Check out the Yahoo group: idahobandsters

There is a gal named Patty on there who had her port "flip" twice and she talks about how it was repaired and the cost of the repair.

You must be very concerned right now, I would be. Facing another surgery stinks. But I think, from what I've read, that it's much easier than the original surgery. Please let us know how it goes for you, ok?

It hasn't happened to me, but I've heard of this many times. It sucks, but it's not unheard of.
