Port is twisted



Recommended Posts

My port is completely flipped! I went in for my first fill on 6/7/11 and my doctor could not do the fill so he sent me to do my fill under flouro, and thats when it was discovered that my port had flipped! I was so upset. He said that he would do the port revision and that it was a 15 minute procedure, so I'm hoping it will be quick and painless. Im scheduled for 7/7/11

I also had a flipped port. My stitches had broken loose and caused my port flip completely over. I had revision surgery, which was a bit less invasive that the orignal band placement surgery. But it was stil under general anesthesia and took about 45 mintues in all. Everything was billed to my insurance, but since I'd already met my deductible for the year with my original surgery, I did not have to pay anything out of pocket. I really thought I should not have been charged. But I guess the hospital didn't agree with that!

Good Luck to you! It really isn't that big of a deal, but there is a few days of recovery involved.

On July 18th I had my surgery to fix my flipped port. They said the stitches just pulled loose from the muscle. This Wednesday I will finally have my first fill. Praying that everything is in place now. It has been four months since my orginal surgery and I feel fortunate to have lost 52 pounds with basically no restriction yet.

My doctor and the hospital covered my entire cost for the flipped port.

      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.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
