My port is hurting...

[Mariposa Bella 3]

Well, as some of you know, my port is flipped and it pokes out a bit, and lately it has been hurting. It is not so painful, that I can't stand it, but it hurts. The area stays bruised because the port stikes out. Any ideas, my fill Dr, said he can fix it, but wants $1000 and with summer vacation coming up, I don't want to fork over that kind of mula$. OH my this band is giving me problems...

Estella, I can't offer any advice other than Tylenol or a heating pad. But if the area gets red, swollen or hot, make sure to get to your doctor because it could be infected.

I am sorry to hear that Estella, Can it flip back by itself??

Hope it gets better for you.

I've heard other people with flipped ports, and often the doctor just massages them back into place. Did your doc try this?

Mine has been hurting lately too. I just keep trying to massage it and not lay on it funky. I hope mine isn't flipped, but without ever having a fill, who knows what my surgeon will find on the screen when I finally do.

I don't think its infected, but it is sure hurting. And no my doctor hasn't tried massaging it into place, that's a thought. I would love for Dr. Gomez to massage me, he is so good looking. hee, heee.... I called my band surgeon today and he said he will stitch it into place next month when he does my Tummy Tuck end of next month. So hopefully I can deal with it until then, but it really is starting to get on my nerves, the hurting and the poking.. Thanks girls, you guys are awesome, what would I do without you. Love you guys.

Why don't they stitch it into place the first time? Or do they and your's has just broke?

[Mariposa Bella 3]

Yep, the port itself has little holes that get stitched inside, but mine apparently broke off. I hear it happens sometimes, too bad it happened to me!
