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

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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
