babbs3772 1 Posted June 20, 2009 I had my lap band surgery June 16, 2008, had a port revision done November 19, 2008 and had my low profile port put in instead. And here we are now a year later from my orginal surgery and I having my low profile port removed from the right side of my body and a new one put in the left side. Why you ask? Beats me, it isn't flipped, isn't leaking...but causes me pain again, now mind you I have had two ports put in on the right side and a tumor removed very very close by at that site as well, so the thought is too much going on over there perhaps and too much scarring? So, July 20, 2009 I go in to have the two surgeries done, I am comfortable with this as my band is a life saving measure to me as far as I am concerned. I love my surgeon and the staff at the hospital are fantastic, I am always in good hands :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thetig 1 Posted June 20, 2009 Hi There, I just had my first port revision done yesterday! I also had a tumor on my left side removed. My Doc said it was a left over from my hysterectomy. My Port detached itself from the tubing which is weird by itself. My port is right above my belly button! I wish you well. You have done really great with your weight loss! Never think is it slow, all weight loss is Great weight loss! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
