PhotoNut 7 Posted May 1, 2006 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? *big hugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marimaru 7 Posted May 1, 2006 It hasn't happened to me, but I've heard of this many times. It sucks, but it's not unheard of. *hugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
