How many times have your had your port fixed



Recommended Posts

Can people please tell me how many of you and how many times you have had your port fixed because it has flipped, and over what period of time. I had my port repositioned because was pretruding 3 weeks ago, then went back to doctore who said port flipped, had to have surgery again 5 days ago, now the port one minute is under my bandage then above the bandage then under again so is moving ekk,hopefully not slipped again, i had no problems until decided did not like it protruding.

My port flipped 3 1/2 months after banding. I had port revision surgery and have not had any problems with my port since.

My port flipped -- probably when I got a stomach bug in Feb and had dry heaves for 10 hours! UGH!

Anyhow, it was moved up under my left breast and stitched to the muscles over my ribs. That baby ain't goin' NO WHAR!!!

I was banded May 8 & have had a few instances where I was reaching for something & had terrible pain at my port site. Do you know what this might be?

      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.
