One of the symptoms would be your Dr. not being able to access it. The fluoroscopy will let him knowfor sure if it has flipped, until then try to remain calm. My girlfriend had a flipped port and she had corrective surgery in TJ to fix it, she was in and out of the hospital the same day

Hi there, I just had my port stitched back into place two weeks ago. Origianlly my port had been stitched into place in two places and I guess one of the stitches became undone and it was sitting on its side. With my weight loss, it was really starting to protrude and it was getting sore, I guess from where it was pushing against my skin. Well, when I had my tt, my doctor went ahead and stitched it back in place, he said he stitched it real good and there in no chance of it flipping again. As far as fills are concerned, Dr. Gomez in Miami managed to give me my fills w/ out flouru even though my port was flipped, so it was no big deal as far as that was concerned. The only uncomforable thing was when I layed down it really protruded out. Well that is my story on my flipped port.
