colleenjune 0 Posted November 7, 2006 I have had my band for 4 years and now that I have lost the weight my port is protruding past my ribcage. It was placed higher than normal and sticks out like a third breast. It is time for a Tummy Tuck and was hoping to find a surgeon who could move the port and do the tuck at the same time but am running into difficulty. Has anyone had this experience? thanks colleen june Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juniebug 0 Posted November 7, 2006 I'm worried that once I get skinny my port will stick out. My doctor said for $500 I could get a thinner port that won't stick out as far. This thinner port might be an option for you to consider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colleenjune 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Thank you juniebug, a smaller port would be a perfect answer. By any chance is your DR in the South Florida area? P.S. My nickname is junebug colleenjune Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachgirl 2 Posted November 7, 2006 Yes, I have the lowprofile port and they are wonderful and very easy to change. I would have it done at the same time and you won't have to have an extra surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
