My Lap band flipped upside down this came in to picture when I went for the lap band adjustment. And doctor told me that he was not able to find the port. Then he went for am imaging and concluded that the port has flipped upside down. I am not sure how critical is this as my surgeon suggested me to go for re surgery. and I am having this on this back end. Please let me know how much critical is this?
