Amelia40 0 Posted April 17, 2007 Well I was finally able to get my first fill Tuesday (4/10). I have little to no restriction. He had to do it via flouro because my port is flipped He was talking to another radiologist that was with him and he said they usually flip 90 he had never seen one flip a full one 180. I did not get to talk to him much but I have a feeling mine is flipped 180 based on how he had to put the needle in. He did not discuss fixing it with me. Have any of you had a flipped port? I just can't cut a break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piercedqt78 658 Posted April 17, 2007 I know that they normally have to do minor surgery to fix a flipped port. Some do this under local I believe, others under a seditive. Let us know how it goes, remember a fill can kick in 10-14 days later. Also if they are able to access the port maybe it will be fine as is. ~Mandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
