Can they Relocate a Port?

[sisterfunkhaus 3]

My port has started sticking out now that I have lost so much weight. I can feel the port very clearly. I would say that there is only 1/8-1/4 of an inch of fat/muscle covering it. I cannot lay on that side any more. It feels uncomfortable. Can they reposition it so it doesn't stick out? If so, is it difficult surgery? I am self-pay, but have insurance. Will they cover the repositioning?

yes ma'am they can

and the surgery is way easier than the band surgery.

Thanks. I need to go see my doc before my deductible starts over. He told me at one point that he has a way of coding things so that insurance will pay for them. Maybe he'll code this one as a hernia or something.
