My port always sticks up and moves when i lye down, but today instead of the square bit on the top it was half way turned to feel like a circle, looked like it looks when i roll over when lying down. I pushed it back to the flat position it normally at, did my port flip, jave lost 67 kilos since having it put in sep 2007? i go back end of may to see surgeon, should i ring him and try and get in urgently? it doesnt hurt or anything??

I thought mine was flipped. My doc said it was no hurry that they would fix it at my fill. But I would at least call them and let them know every doc is different

Will ring my doctor explain when he was suppose to see me, and see what he thinks.

Yeah thats your best bet, call and ask your Doc. By the way Slimmy, you've done great with your weight loss!

My Mum has a flipped port (its flipped to the side, not all the way over), but they can still fill it, so they havent done any corrective surgery or anything. A flipped port doesn't always mean that you'll need to do anything. Good luck!

Spoke to doctor today, he said does not think there is a problem,and to see him as planned, but come in immediately if hurts. Thanx. I am concentrating everyday to eat health.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
