I had a csection with my first son....I am having my lapband surgery next Friday the 21st. In the future I want another baby and will have to have a csection again....will it effect my lapband or port?

You need to ask your surgeon, but I would say no it won't effect your band & port.  My port is to the left of my umbilicus and the other surgeon in the group actually puts the port midline right below the bra line.

 I have had 3 c-sections all prior to lap band so I am not sure how it will affect future surgeries BUT my port is much higher than my c-sec incisions.  Good luck!

I'm very happy with being able to eat 3 oz of dense protein and 1/4 c veggies and not being hungry for 4+ hours.  I still have to deal with "head hunger".

Good luck to you!

I got my band in 2006 and just had a c section in July, the band did not affect it at all.  My port is up high, like just below my bra.
