pain in stomach post op with lap band and hernia repair ( 6 wks)

Maybe I wasn't clear with my previous question about my port protruding and my lap band and hernia. I am 6 wks post op and DID have my hernia repaired which did cause my surgery to be 4 hours instead of 2 hours. I am also asthmatic. I am looking for suggestions or help with the pain that I am feeling in my stomach when I eat and from my port which is protruding and is visible. My surgeon says since I lost 25 lbs that the more I lose the more the the port will bother me. My question is shouldn't the surgeon have known which port to place based on his experience. I haven't even had a fill yet and am supposed to go August 7th for the 1st. I will then find out if the port as flipped. Thanks
