I had Dr. Marsden and now I have a flipped port. I thought he was great, but now I am wondering...how could my port come unstitched in less than 7 weeks? Now I have to go for revision surgery!! He is so busy the soonest he could see me is in another week.

Wonder how often that happens? So, sounds like you didn't know it happened? Wasn't/isn't painful? But can't get your fill until it's flipped back around - wow.

Well, from your other posts, it sounds like you are just doing so good - so hang in there. And I wish you the best in your corrective surgery. Please update us & let us know how you are!

Hey, what magazine was it? I'd love to read it - yep, I'm really leaning toward him...

He is a really nice doctor. I am starting to wonder about him though. I went in for my revision surgery yesterday to flip my port back over and re-stitch it to my muscle. while I was under, he filled my band. He said he put in 6cc's total but when I got home I couldn't take a tblsp of the liquid hydrocodone and I couldn't keep Water down..it just came right back up.

I called his office and they told me to go to either SCOR or SCOH and have Fluid removed. I was like whta the heck! I just had surgery yesterday...you think that he would have cheked to make sure I didn't have too much?? so, here I am 1 day po and have to have my hubby take me to SCOR and they said that I had a total of 7cc's. Dr. Marsden said he put in 6... 7cc's in reality plus the swelling from the surgery I was completely cut off and my salivia wouldn't even go down.

You know the last thing I wanted to do after surgery is having someone press around on my stomach to try to find the port to stick a needle in it to unfill me.

It makes me wonder about him....I thought he was the best but I have had too many problems back to back with him. I don't understand why an experienced dr would fill me the wrong amount and then not check to see if I could swallow before I left the hospital.
