Uncomfortable With The Band After Tt!

[Carmen16 0]

I have my band for 14 month I have lost 75lb two month ago I did a tt! But now I feel a ball coming out where my band is It also bothers when I sleep on my tummy is this normal?

Is it the band you feel or the port? If it's the port, then I think it may be normal to feel it when laying on your stomach. I can feel mine when I lay on my stomach and I have not had a TT.

They make a lower profile port. If you did not get this one initially, you might want to consider it. I have had tt and feel my port, but it is not painful.

How do they make the,lower profile port, another surgery?

I also feel my port when I attempt to lay on my stomach.

Changing to a low profile port is a surgical procedure. I have a low profile port, I can fill mine but it does not protrude very much at all.

I was able to have the small low profile port put in when I was banded as I didn't have much fat where the port gOes and I'm so happy as I was very worried about it protruding once I'm at goal and have my plastic surgery. My surgeon did say that having a low profile port put in later would be an option and they could possibly do it during the Tt. You may want to talk to your Dr about that option..
