possibly flipped port???



Recommended Posts

Well I am seeing my surgeon tomorow to find out what is going on with my port. I have had port pain since I was banded on 3/14/07.

:phanvan This past week it has gotten pretty bad so I'm going to see whats going on in there tomorow(three hour drive there). I spoke with the on call Dr over the weekend, he said it sounds like I have detached my port from the abdomen or part of it. I hope they can fix it without an overnight stay the copays are killing me($500) for an overnight stay. Anyone else out there have a port problem fixed by Dr Singh @ Albany Medical Center?? just courious how he did it.

Well I went and had my port checked. No lifting of any kind for me for a while. The muscle that my port is attached to is in a spasm. I did to much to soon going back to work, so now I am not able to exercise except walk for the next few weeks. Just wanted to up date my situation.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
