Port Revision Surgery - What's it like?

[eve529 0]

My port turns sideways and sticks out sometimes. My surgeon thinks that a stick must have loosened. I can still get fills because I can actually hold the port between my fingers and turn it the right direction. It feels gross, but it doesn't hurt. My surgeon says he's never seen this happen before. He seemed somewhat fascinated, even.

I have the option of having another surgery to reattach the port so that it stays put and doesn't poke out.

I am wondering how major the surgery is. If you've had port revision surgery please let me know what it was like. Did you have to go in the hospital for a full day? Do you go under general anesthesia? Did your tummy scars get worse? How much did it cost? ( I am self-pay :-( ).

Any information you can provide me with would be fabulous. Thanks.
