you can ask your surgeon to switch it to a low profile port. That's what my surgeon told me he would do when it comes to that.

Thank you about info re the low profile port, but does that basically mean having the whole operation done again to swap it?

He told me it was a really quick procedure where just the top of the port is switched, so not the whole procedure, just the tip of the port where it connects to the tube.
