SherriWittler 1 Posted May 28, 2006 I have a friend who had the lapband last August and has lost right at 70 pounds. She now has this BIG knot under her breast area that the doctor is just saying is her port. She has never been able to fill her port up that high before ..... it has always been MUCH lower down. He says as you loose weight that the position of your post can move. Have any of you ever heard this or dealt w/ this first hand. She is very concerned and would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks, Sherri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted May 28, 2006 The port definitely does migrate with weight loss. Usually, it can be felt under the skin, or the doc can located it under ultrasound or flouroscopy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SherriWittler 1 Posted May 28, 2006 Let me make it clearer .... she has always been able to fill her port -- it just was never in the location it is in now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexandra 55 Posted May 28, 2006 Sherri, can I edit the title of this thread so it's clearer? You mean port, not post, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
