rybearsmomma 106 Posted December 7, 2013 So I am 2 months post op and went in for my first fill yesterday only to find my port has flipped has anyone had this happen to them? I'm having the correction surgery done Monday morning and my doctor is going to put 2 ccs in at that time. I know if can happen but I was so excited to get my fill. 1 kll724 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kll724 3,055 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) My port is tipped, but surgeon was able to get to it, anyway. i don't really get fills at this time after 4 years. Best wishes for your surgery.

Bandista 7,466 Posted December 7, 2013 Hi there, sorry for this setback -- great you will get the correction so soon, and a fill at that. And now the port will be just right for future fills. I have read about this happening to others. Keep us posted on your recovery, now you're feeling post fill, etc. I just got my first one and going back next week. We are going to rock our bands! 3 terrydumont46, kll724 and rybearsmomma reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terrydumont46 1,954 Posted December 7, 2013 Well you can bet that your surgeon is going to place that port in just the right spot so it won't happen again. and you will have a fill all at the same time. good luck and best for your surgery. 1 rybearsmomma reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MandaMom23 684 Posted December 10, 2013 Sorry to hear that! I had to have my port replaced after 4 months, due to a really bad kink in the tubing. It sucked, but all is well now! Happy to hear all went well with your surgery, and you're back on your journey. 1 rybearsmomma reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
