Port issues

Has anyone out there had to have their port changed? I went for a fill yesterday and talked with my doctor about pain at my port site. He suggested that I loose another 20 pounds and then we might want to go with a "low profile" port. Anyone had this done? What is going to be involved? Any information would help. Thanks, Sandi

When I had my band they had to replace the port....I went home the same day....why he is waiting to replace it.....not sure... Maria

Thanks for the info. He is waiting to see if the problem corrects itself. It isn't a constant pain for me so I think that he wants to wait and see if more weight loss will help the situation. If I loose another 20 pounds we are thinking that it might stop hitting my rib. I was just wondering what is involved because we didn't discuss it yet...we are waiting to see what happens over the next month or two. He would do it for me sooner if it becomes more of a problem, but for right now it is just a few times a day if I sit too long.
