lady0027e 0 Posted February 26, 2007 Hello all!! I am a newbie. I was banded 12-26 and didn't think to ask this question pre-op. I plan on having another child in the next couple of years which leads me tot his question....When pregnant can you see your port under your skin?? I would think that it gets sore and the port is clearly visible while your pregnant. Is this true any feedback would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtgirl77 0 Posted February 27, 2007 I'm assuming you are intending to lose your weight before getting pregnant. Many people choose to have a low-profile port put in but if you don't, I'm told the port does become more prominent while pregnant. I haven't heard that it gets sore but I guess you never know.

lady0027e 0 Posted March 8, 2007 Thanks rtgirl for the info. No way!! I plan on having a child after I lose the weight. But I didnt even know that was an option. I'll discuss further with my doc. :girl_hug: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted March 8, 2007 I have not had kids but plan to. I'd like to lose more first, but we've stopped using BC, and will take what comes. It will depend on where your port is. There are several places that different surgeons place them... some do it in a standard location, some vary by patient, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
