lorid 0 Posted September 20, 2007 :faint:I went for my fill today and my surgeon couldn't get the needle in. He told me that he believes the port has flipped and that I will need to meet him at the hospital next Wednesday to do flouroscopy and that if it has flipped he will have to do surgery to replace it. I am so discouraged. Anyone else had this happen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulk 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Hi. My wife has had her port flip twice can i ask where your port is and how long you have been banded. She had her port originally on her lower right side . Just tuesday she had a different dr, put it at the bottum of her ribs, This is where mine is It is frustrating but I have heard of it be fore Her first Dr. didn,t do the florascope and poked a hole in her tube.she went a couple of years with no restiction.

lorid 0 Posted September 21, 2007 My port is just under my ribs in the middle of my abdomen. I am just discouraged because had to have an unfill a 6 weeks ago for severe burning. My surgeon did a scope and CT scan and determined there was no ulcer so waited a week and put 2 ml back in. With just that much I haven't had the feeling of fullness and satisfaction that I was having before and it has really been a struggle to eat like I know I am supposed to--like not having the band at all. Thank you for your reply. It helps to know there is someone to talk to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
