Hi nope I can't see it or feel it. With my old port I could feel it by touching my belly. It also hurt. This smaller port is much better and other than being so close to my belly button I am very happy with it!!

You will be fine! It's much easier to recover from than the implant!

Good luck!

I'm SO GLAD someone asked that. I just had my port revision/replacement last week. It doesn't hurt nearly as bad as the original surgery. I just hope the scars heal!

I HAVE A STRANGE QUESTION, after my lap band I couldn't pee very well. It's been 5 days since the revision and I can go per but it takes forever! Did this happen to u?

After mine moved, I was uncomfortable for a few days but felt awesome!

FYI all. I ended up having to get a catheter put in for a few days to jump start my kidneys. I can pee now and feel much better! They said that the anesthesia during the surgery put my kidneys to sleep and it took the cath to wake them up!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
