First post in a long time....possible tilted port

I had lap band surgery in 2010. I went in for a fill last week. Saw the Nurse practioner, after her poking me with the needle about 9 times, I asked if she could get the doctor because she always gets it in the port the first try. So the doctor came in and it took her about 5 or 6 sticks and she still couldnt get it. She thinks my port is tilted. So she had me reposition myself and she got the needle in a little sideways. I dont know if this is something I should be worried about. Im getting married in 2 months so she told me to f/up with her after the wedding ,she knows Im stressed about a few things so I dont know if she wasent making a big deal about the tilted port because of that. Anyone else ever have this problem??

Thanks

I don't think it is an urgent type situation, it needs to be addressed eventually mainly for your comfort with fills(as you found out ). It just will mean more painful fills and unfills untill it is fixed. By the way relax and enjoy your wedding! The more you stress the more chance of feeling tight if so stick to liquids for awhile to calm your tummy.

Thanks! Yes I'm trying to not stress and enjoy my wedding planning and wedding! I looked into it and my insurance won't cover a fix if it's surgery because I'm no longer morbidly obese. My insurance will cover if they take out my lap band but that's it. I'm hoping it's just something I can deal with and won't need surgery to fix it. 

As Hislady says - don't worry now!!! 

As to whether it matters long term, that may depend on your current situation. If you are happy with your current weight and restriction, you don't need fills so it doesn't matter. My last fill was in 2007! But if you do need more fills, then it may matter! The only way I know to reposition a tilted port is by surgery, but I  wouid guess it is not a major operation. 

Yes you both are right! Thank you! I'm getting married in less than 2 months I'm just going to concentrate on enjoying my wedding! Thanks for the support both of you.

A probably totslly unnecessary reminder!

On your wedding day, you will be stressed, excited, chatting while eating, having a few drinks. A recipe fir disaster! Even if your band is not tight,  

Be VERY mindful! Last thing you want is to have to rush to the bathroom and return red-eyed with streaked mascara!

have a great day!! 

Yes Thanks Kate! I've already been thinking of the kind of things I can bring to eat during the day, and figured out my meal plan lol
