vinesqueen 2 Posted August 8, 2005 I think this got burried in other posts, but Flower is having a port revision today. I don't know any of the details, but I just wanted to get this put out so people could send her some positive vibes. Sending you waves of white protective and blue healing light Flower.

flower 2 Posted August 8, 2005 thanks for the support it went well the port was flipped so couldn't get acssess in the office when he tried the fill he moved it down a little because it was under my rib cage on the left and when I bent over I could feel it I did it with local anesthesia and deep sedation tolerated it well now I can start losing weight it was much easier than the general anesthesia and thats it so hope this port is fine and I will be on my way thanks again for those who showed support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patty 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Flower, hope all is going well. My port has flipped too. I just found out about an hour ago!!! They want to schedule me for a revision on Tuesday, only problem is I am getting married in 2 weeks on Aug 28 and going on a cruise for my honeymoon!!! My surgeon will be back from vaca on Monday, I just want to be sure that I will be able to go swimming and stuff on the cruise. Patty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinesqueen 2 Posted August 12, 2005 Nope, you cannot go swimming after only two weeks. You will need longer than that for the insision to heal. My best guess anyway. I had a laparotomy two weeks ago and I'm still not cleared for immersion activities like swimming or baths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
