You can have the entire thing removed, but I don't think you would want to. If I lose enough weight for my port to stick out I will be thrilled to have it stick out as a reminder of how far I've come.
I would think you would always need the port access to the band in case of some emergency. You never know when you may get a bug or having something happend to cause swelling or anything and Fluid would need to be removed for you safety. Access by port is far safer than emergency surgery to remove the entire band.

I got a fill and was to tight, so they took all the Fluid out. I need to get back to eating more Protein, less crap.

Go back to logging and measuring everything. Eat dense Protein so you feel full longer. Just remember why you did this. You were successful before, so you can do it. It's a big head game!

I "fluffy" up around my TOM by a couple LBS... falls off as soon as its over , I expect it every month.

It's like them saying you need to eat Breakfast 30 mins after getting up. I don't want to eat for about 2hrs after getting up.

I go to true results in arizona, they are very nice. I only saw the Dr. twice. The office staff is wonderful and I saw the NP from Dallas last fill she was very kind and efficiant
