Ok....I finally got another fill only to be told that my port has not flipped on its side, but completely over. Just lovely eh?! This is why I have had so many problems with my fills. So I am scheduled for a port revision on June 3. I hope he can staple that sucker into place! I asked him about putting more fluid in then and he said he might...we will have to see. I am up to 6cc in a 14cc band and feeling only mild restriction. He said the tube from the port to the band may be kinked as well. Any one else had this problem, procedure, etc...?

Thanks....just got back from the hospital. I went and got my labs done while I was there taking dinner to my boyfriend. He is in ICU.......Someone on the lap band board said they took the saline out then replaced it. Dr Allen said he would just turn the port over and there was no need to drain....makes more sense to me..........Not sure what she was talking about!
