I posted something before but any lap banders out there ever heard of your growing belly causing a port to flip? Mine is much higher than it used to be and I can feel a circle bulge where as before I couldn't.....I m going to ask my OB on thursday but maybe I should call my doc and just ask ab it...just curious of your experiences! Thanks!

I am a lap bander and my port has moved up as my belly has grown, at time it aggravates me. I have not heard of one flipping though. I saw my surgeon 3 weeks ago and my port was fine. If your worried I would ask your surgeon, I do not think your OB would know.

Anything is possible, but you'll notice that your port seems to shift locations a bit as your belly grows and it will become more prominent and easy to feel.

It's probably just your uterus making the port change locations.  Hopefully it hasn't flipped!
