Determinedtd 19 Posted August 26, 2013 Went to get my fill and wasn't successful because my port looks flipped. Going to see my surgeon tomorrow in hopes he is able to do my fill, if not I may have to have another surgery to flip my port back around. Has anyone ever had this problem?

littlerockbandster 13 Posted August 26, 2013 I had this happen on my very first fill. I went back in a couple of days later and they checked it under x-ray. It was flipped so they went ahead and put me to sleep to flip it back where if needed to be. The surgery wasn't bad, and I haven't had any more issues with it. 2 Determinedtd and pastor o reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

backpacking5 224 Posted August 27, 2013 I am honing back today to get an X-ray to see if my port has flipped. I have had my band for three weeks and couldn't get a fill because the surgeon couldn't get the needle in. Can't believe I'm having problems three weeks into this. 2 pastor o and Determinedtd reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
